Name: PECL

Description: Produces a spark when in contact with PHOT or situated near glowing object

Colour: Dark greyish-blue

State: solid

Doesn't melt

Normally photoelectric cells consist of caesium but we will avoid that here otherwise it will blow up :)

Tell me what you think.

I believe solar cells are normally composed of PN junction(s) in a semiconductor, such as silicon.

TPT does happen to have P-Type and N-Type silicon (PSCN and NSCN), and they can be used to produce a solar cell. SPRK is created when PHOT hits them.

In TPT the photon must hit the PSCN, although in real life solar cells would work either way (and mostly seem to have the photon hitting the N-type).

They can be used to produce solar cells but this which I'm suggesting is already a solar cell. Or maybe it can be added as selenium or tellurium. Unless you're telling me PSCN and NSCN are already solar cells, too.

I'm telling you that 1 pixel of PSCN plus 1 pixel of NSCN next to it is already a solar cell. That was why I posted the save, to demonstrate that.

There's also DTEC, which can be set to produce a spark when in contact with PHOT.

Point is, we don't need another element to create solar cells if there's a perfectly fine way to do it right now.

I don't know alot of things about TPT. That's probably the reason I thought it would be a good idea to post this thread.
