Ruth asks…

What’s the relation between different parts of the solar cell?

I’m trying to learn about parts of the solar cells (dye sensitized solar cells mainly) and I keep reading about the diff bands, electrodes, and semiconductor parts. I’m especially confused about the role of the counter electrode and working electrode in the solar cell. So my question is, in a solar cell, how do the (counter electrode/working electrode/transparent electrode), the (valence band/conduction band), and the (p-type/n-type semiconductors) all function and what are their roles in a solar cell?
