What is the difference between photodiode and a solar cell?

Answer»

Answer:

The PHOTODIODES have different CONSTRUCTION than a solar cell. Their construction is to maximize the PHOTOCURRENT and minimize the dark current and the noise created by the diode, while the construction of a solar cell is to maximize the conversion efficiency of the incident light.

Additionally, photodiodes can be used in reverse biased direction that GREATLY improves their RESPONDING time.
