[[File:PV cell with photon and electron holes 2.png|thumb|alt=|342x342px]]An electron hole pair is created, i.e a free electron and a free hole. Because of the existing electric field at the depletion Zone, this freed electron is attracted to the n-type side, being repelled by the barrier. Likewise, the holes encounter is attracted to the p-type side. | [[File:PV cell with photon and electron holes 2.png|thumb|alt=|342x342px]]An electron hole pair is created, i.e a free electron and a free hole.
