2.5 Aspects of Solar Cell Efficiency Most of the energy that reaches a cell in the form of sunlight is lost before it is converted to electricity. The usual efficiency of these systems ranges between 10% to 15%‚ though sometimes this efficiency increases to 30% and more. Certain physical properties affect the cell efficiency which we will briefly state. 1- Reflection: Studies show that untreated silicon reflects 36% or more of sunlight that strikes it.

Solar Energy is one of the many renewable sources that is produced by the sun in the form of light and heat. It is one of the most important non-conventional sources of energy due to the fact that its free and we have plenty of it. Humans have been using it since ancient times. Solar energy can be use two ways‚ we can convert it into heat energy or it can converted into electricity. It has had a rapid growth in recent years‚ accounting for less than one percent of electricity used in the United States
