چکیده
One might at first believe that knowledge of the photovoltaic effect is recent. In fact, we must go back to 1839 with the French physicist Edmund Becquerel who first discovered the photovoltaic effect. It was during the period between the second half of the 19th and the Second World War (1945) that scientific knowledge related to solar phenomena were mastered. Thus, in 1875, Werner von Siemens presented to the Academy of Sciences in Berlin an article on the photovoltaic effect in semiconductors and it was Albert Einstein who first was able to explain the photovoltaic principle, thereby won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1923.

متن کاملThe effect of SiO2 nanoparticle on the performance of photovoltaic thermal system: Experimental and Theoretical approach
The low conversion efficiency of solar cells produces large amounts of thermal energy to the cells, and with an increase in the temperature of solar cells, their electrical efficiency decreases. Therefore, a hybrid photovoltaic thermal system improves the overall efficiency of the system by adding thermal equipment to the solar cell and removing excessive heat from these cells. In this paper, w...
