could tin (6.20 x 10^-19j) be used to construct solar cells
YES.
Recently it has been found out that tin can be used in place of lead to construct solar cells.In fact these can be easily constructed than the existing ones.
Solar cells based on a class of semiconductors known as lead perovskites are rapidly emerging as an efficient way to convert sunlight directly into electricity. However, the reliance on lead is a serious barrier to commercialisation, due to the well-known toxicity of lead.
Until now lead is being used in solar cells.But intoxication due to use of lead has been a major isuue currently and the industry is trying to shift to TIN instead of LEAD.Also it has been found out that use of TIN would even decrease the cost of fabrication.
