The first law dictates that the power (energy per unit time) output from a solar cell cannot exceed the power of the light landing on it.
The second law dictates that the efficiency of the solar cell must be less than 100% no matter how good the cell is - some of the energy will be lost as heat output to the surroundings.

What do solar cells transfer sunlight directly into?
Solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity via the photovoltaic process.
The life and death of cells are governed by?
The laws of thermodynamics - energy can be exchanged through physical systems as heat and/or work.
What are the answers to the solar cells physics ISA?
control variable is the intensity of light dependent variable is thr area for light and find rest by pastpapers but apply questions to the thing u douing
What is the study of conversion of heat to mechanics?
Thermodynamics
Do the laws of thermodynamics hold in the inside of an atom?
Yes - the laws of thermodynamics apply even at the subatomic level. It is a little tricky applying them correctly however because you have to take quantum physics into account and some of the functions we usually write as continuous functions have to be re-cast in discrete value form.
where can you buy solar cells?

What is the difference between solar furnace and solar cells?
solar furnace is real fire. solar cells are little fires.
How are solar cells used in homes?

How can electricity be derived from solar cells?
Solar cells have stored solar energy that is converted into electrical energy.
What do Solar cells convert?
Solar cells convert light directly into electricity
How can you make solar cells for electricity from solar cells for heating?
Solar cells for electricity and solar cells for heating are two very different things, so it doesn't make much sense to convert one into the other.
What is the d ifference between solar module and solar cells?
Solar cells are single pieces. A solar module is a collection of cells on a surface connected together and usually protected from the weather.
What materials solar cells are made of and how they are consteucted?
Solar cells (also known as photovoltaic cells) are made of solar cells. To be more specific, they are made of slices of a semiconductor with a metal layer.
Do solar cells produce electricity with the assistance of a turbine?
No. Solar cells have no moving parts.
What do solar cells do?
Solar AKA photovoltaic cells turn (sun) light into electricity.
What does solar cells do?
Solar AKA photovoltaic cells turn (sun) light into electricity.
Where are solar cells found and recovered?
I though solar cells were man-made...out of semi-conductors. :)
