_______________________________________________________________-
Solar energy received by solar semiconductor is inversely proportional to square of distance of conductor from the sun.
As Venus is closer to the sun as compared to earth,the semiconductor will receive more solar energy on Venus surface and will generate more electricity on Venus surface
