Abstract

The object of the research project is to enhance solar energy conversion into electricity and store it through photogalvanic cells. Various parameters were studied in a photogalvanic having D-Xylose+MB+Brij-35+NaLS PGS (photogalvanic system) for solar cell conversion and storage. The photo potential was observed at 684.00 mV for D-Xylose+MB+Brij-35+NaLS PGS for solar cells. The photocurrent was observed at 230.00 A in D-Xylose+MB+Brij-35+NaLS PGS for solar cells. The impact of solar energy was studied by varying the various parameters in PGS for solar energy-based conversion and storage. The D-Xylose+MB+Brij-35+NaLS PGS for solar cell performance was found 110.00 minutes in absence of light. The value of fill factor of the cell () = 0.2810 was observed and the powerpoint of the cell (pp) = 56.23 W was obtained for the solar energy conversion and storage. The mixed surfactants (NaLS+Brij-35) have experimentally proved the efficient system as the desired object of research with special reference to enhancing electrical out and storage of solar energy.
