photovoltaic technology

Photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon. When sunlight hits these panels, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. This process allows for the generation of clean, renewable energy without moving parts or emissions. PV systems can be installed on rooftops or ground-mounted and connect to the electrical grid or operate independently. They are a key technology for reducing reliance on fossil fuels, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions while providing sustainable power for homes, businesses, and communities.
