Commercial-grade silicon-based solar cells have an efficiency in the 20-30% range. The addition of a non-uniform magnetic field can increase the efficiency of a solar cell by manipulating the movement of the charge carriers within the silicon. This manipulation can increase the current produced by the solar cell which helps to increase the power and efficiency of the solar cell. This theory can be tested by measuring a solar cell’s output current and voltage both with and without the presence of a non-uniform magnetic field. A higher output power means the efficiency of the solar cell is increased.
