Programming Tutorial: Computational Model for Solar Cells

These are a series of programs that model solar cell reaction (current over power incident on the surface of the cell) vs. wavelength. The three different models fall into separate categories. The first category, completely theoretical, depicts a model solely based off of mathematical predictions. The second model, for manufactured cells, depicts what the reaction of manufactured silicon cells are. The third model, derived from our data, shows the reaction our cells had.
