Bell Labratories in New York City announces their invention of the First Solar energy battery which can convert the sun’s energy into useful amounts of electricity. The inventors are Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller, and Daryl Chapin. Bell Labs is, coincidently, the very place where just seven years earlier (in 1947) other Bell Labs.

"Photovoltaic cells turn solar power into direct current electricity. This is key for solar systems on or off the grid, improving energy security during power outages." Applications
The present paper is a trial to shed further light on one of the state-of the-art applications of solar energy; that is solar engines. In this concern, the unijunction transistors were introduced as a

A solaristor (from SOLAR cell transISTOR) is a compact two-terminal self-powered phototransistor. The two-in-one transistor plus solar cell achieves the high-low current modulation by a memresistive effect in the flow of photogenerated carriers. The term was coined by Dr Amador Perez-Tomas working in collaboration with other ICN2 researchers in 2018 when they demon

This paper proposes a model called X-LSTM-EO, which integrates explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), long short-term memory (LSTM), and equilibrium optimizer (EO) to reliably forecast solar power
Consumers could buy solar powered products within ten years of the invention of solar cells. Hoffman Electronics manufactured cells for satellites but company president H. Leslie Hoffman believed the sun could power other products.
Nature Communications 6, Article number: 6902 ( 2015 ) Cite this article Here we propose, for the first time, a solar cell characterized by a semiconductor transistor structure (n/p/n or p/n/p) where the base–emitter junction is made of a high-bandgap semiconductor and the collector is made of a low-bandgap semiconductor.
In bipolar transistor terminology, this implies that the emitter injection efficiency (the ratio between the electron and the total emitter current densities crossing the emitter–base junction) has to be as close to zero as possible.
In this work we propose the use of p/n/p (or n/p/n) structures instead, that exhibit the same limiting efficiency that a dual-junction solar cell, but without the need of using tunnel junctions or wafer bonding schemes for interconnecting the cells. The proposed solar cell structure has three-terminals.
Wolf 2, in 1960, pointed out the difficulty in using tandem solar cells based on (p/n)– (p/n) semiconductor junctions to take to practice this approach because of the impossibility of having electrical current circulating across a p/n junction biased in reverse.
Therefore, the HBTSC and the dual-junction solar cell share the same limiting efficiency. In Fig. 3 we plot the limiting efficiency of the cell as a function of the top and bottom bandgaps. Maximum efficiency (54.7%) is obtained for EL =0.8 eV and EH =1.76 eV.
By using solaristors, it would be possible in theory to replace the in-plane three-electrode architecture by a vertical, two-electrode photodiode-like architecture in systems like photo-sensors, cameras, or displays. ^ Pérez-Tomás, Amador; Lima, Anderson; Billon, Quentin; Shirley, Ian; Catalan, Gustau; Lira-Cantú, Mónica (2018).
