A method of turning sunlight into electrical energy These are more popularly known as 'solar cells' or 'solar panels'
(PVs): A technology for using semiconductors to directly converts light into electricity
Devices which, when exposed to light, have the ability to generate an electrical current
solar cells that absorb sunlight and convert it directly into electricity and used to power a home's electrical systems Solar cells are thin rectangular wafers, typically made of silicon A four-inch silicon cell can produce about one watt of DC electricity A number of cells form a module or a module array
Of, or related to, the use of photovoltaic (solar) cells for producing electricity See Photovoltaic cell
are solar cells that absorb sunlight and convert it directly into electricity Solar cells are very thin rectangular wafers, typically made of silicon A four-inch silicon cell can produce about one watt of DC electricity A number of cells form a module or a module array The more modules, the more electricity you can produce For homes connected to their utility grid, excess power flows back into the power lines for use elsewhere
Photovoltaics (PV's) are solid-state cells, typically made from silicon, that directly convert sunlight into electricity An active solar system component
Devices that use semiconductor materials - similar to those used in computer chips - to convert sunlight directly into electricity The electric current can either be used immediately, or it may be stored, as in a battery, for later use
