What is Understanding Solar Cells and Photovoltaics about?

Solar cells convert light directly into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. They were first demonstrated experimentally in 1839 but were only around 1% efficient until improvements in the 1950s led to cells that were over 6% efficient. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, further improvements were made through new materials and manufacturing processes, bringing costs down from around $100 per watt in the early 1970s to $20 per watt by the mid-1970s, enabling more widespread adoption, especially in powering
