PV cells

Photovoltaic (PV) cells, commonly known as solar cells, convert sunlight directly into electricity. They are made from semiconductor materials, usually silicon, which absorb photons from sunlight. This absorption excites electrons, creating an electric current. PV cells are often assembled into panels that can be installed on rooftops or solar farms. They produce clean, renewable energy without emissions. Their efficiency depends on factors like sunlight intensity and cell quality. PV technology plays a vital role in sustainable energy solutions, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lowering environmental impact.
