Photovoltaics (PV)

Photovoltaics (PV) is a technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells, typically made from silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it excites electrons, generating an electric current. This process is clean and renewable, making PV a popular choice for solar panels on rooftops and solar farms. PV systems can power homes, businesses, and even large infrastructures, contributing to reduced reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions. As technology improves and costs decrease, the use of photovoltaics continues to grow worldwide as a sustainable energy solution.
