Photovoltaic Conversion
Uses sheets of special materials to make electricity from the sun. "Photo-" means "light," and "voltaic" means "producing electricity."
A “cell” is a device that produces electricity. An example of an electrical cell is a flashlight battery. Photovoltaic cells produce electricity when they are exposed to light. They usually consist of panels. The panels contain two layers of different materials.
