Ecological network analysis of solar photovoltaic power generation systems
The potential for using the energy of light to create electricity (photovoltaic effect) has been recognized for over a century. The first PV cell, created by Fritz, dates back to 1883, at a power conversion efficiency of less than 1% (Hersch and Zweibel, 1982; Singh, 2013).The efficiency of conversion continually increased, involving research from both Einstein
