Why does the efficiency of a solar cell increase with light intensity?
Question:
Answer:
solar cell efficiency should not depend on light intensity unless there is change in recombination kinetics. generally with the intensities available the efficiency should remain constant.
Efficiency of a solar cell is meant by how much the cell can transform the actual energy(light energy) to potentially usable energy (electrical output)...so more the light intensity , more is the output..greater is the efficiency..
I don't believe that efficiency of a solar cell increases with light intensity.
But the previous answer is wrong because when both numerater and denominator increase the quantity may even a constant. 8/4 =2; 16/8 = 2.
For efficiency to increase, for a given input the out put must increase.
