Solar Cell Construction**: A basic solar cell consists of a metal conductive plate (positive electrode) covered by a thin silicon layer (semiconductor material), which usually contains a silicon boron mixture on the bottom and a silicon phosphorus layer on top, forming a p-n junction

Monocrystalline cells** are rigid, usually black or very dark blue with no visible crystals, and are more efficient (around 15-19%) but more expensive to produce due to a more refined process that forms one giant crystal
