Photovoltaic Solar Cells

Photovoltaic solar cells are devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity. They are made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon, which absorb photons from sunlight. This absorption creates an electric field that generates a flow of electrons, producing electrical current. Multiple cells are connected to form solar panels, capturing sunlight efficiently. This technology provides a clean, renewable energy source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering environmental impact. Solar cells are widely used in various applications, from powering homes to small electronic devices, offering a sustainable way to harness the sun’s energy for practical use.
