What is the difference between a photo diode and a solar cell? |
|
Answer» Both are semiconductor photovoltaic devices. A photodiode is a reverse-biased pn-junction diode while a solar cell is an unbiased pn junction diode. Photodiodes, however, are optimized for light detection while solar cells are optimized for energy conversion efficiency. |
