Tutorial: Making Solar Cell Using 2N3055 Transistor







This video unveils the fact that a silicon diode is quite similar to a solar cell. To prove this, it takes apart a 2N3055 power transistor to produce 1.6 milliwatts. Watch the video for a great tutorial on creating a transistor solar cell.

It's easy to cut open a power transistor like the 2N3055 to expose the NPN silicon material inside to make a solar cell. When exposed to sunlight, or household lights, it conducts electricity. The N-type and P-type materials work like a solar cell. The best way is from the Base to the Collector though from both the Base and Emitter combined and then to the Collector also works well. The voltage and current aren't much but with just a few of them in series you can power a small 1.5 volt calculator.
