Abstract:

Energy has always been a fundamental element in the development of human society, after the industrial revolution, humanity focused on oil, but nowadays pollution, the greenhouse effect, climate change, forces us to look for new sources clean energy to meet our needs. Today in the day, photovoltaic solar energy makes the object of great interest. While the production of electricity with the photovoltaic system is progressing due to the decrease in the cost of purchase and manufacturing of solar panels (Rubio, 2016). In this sense, solar energy developed in the 1950s and is now one of the most widely used sources in the world. Its technology was discovered in 1839 by members of a family of French scientists, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel son of Antoine César (who collaborated with Ampere and Biot in the study of electricity), discovered the photovoltaic effect in 1939 (Oviedo-Salazar, 2015). And it is his son the physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel who presented him publicly to the academy of sciences at the end of the year 1939 (Mauguit, 2015). His story continued with Albert Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect, published in 1905, and the development of a Jan Czochralski process to produce monocrystalline silicon purified in 1918 (Sánchez, et al., 2018). It is in 1954 that the American researchers Gerald Pearson, Darryl Chapin and Calvin Fuller working for the Bell laboratories managed to develop a solar panel that presented a performance of 6%. These cells were composed of" doped" silicon whose interest was discovered in 1939 by Russell Ohl (Jiménez, 20). The photovoltaic industry finally took its flight thanks to the space search …
