Abstract Consideration is given to the possibilities of direct transformation of the energy of solar radiation into electrical energy by means of semiconducting photoelements. Brief descriptions are given of the main electrical and optical properties of germanium and silicon, and of methods for producing them and controlling their electrical properties by the introduction of small amounts of impurities. The principle of action of photoelements with electron-hole junctions is discussed, and the basic parameters determining their spectral sensitivity and efficiency are indicated. Data are presented on the action of experimental solar batteries as generators of current.
