Photovoltaics (PV) is the name of a method of converting solar energy into direct currentelectricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon commonly studied in physics, photochemistry and electrochemistry. A photovoltaic system employs solar panels composed of a number of solar cells to supply usable solar power. The process is both physical and chemical in nature, as the first step involves the photoelectric effect from which a second electrochemical process takes place involving crystallized atoms being ionized in a series, generating an electric current. Power generation from solar PV has long been seen as a clean sustainable energy technology which draws upon the planet’s most plentiful and widely distributed renewable energy source – the sun. The direct conversion of sunlight to electricity occurs without any moving parts or environmental emissions during operation. It is well proven, as photovoltaic systems have now been used for fifty years in specialized applications, and grid-connected PV systems have been in use for over twenty years. They were first mass-produced in the year 2000, when German environmentalists including Eurosolar succeeded in obtaining government support for the 100,000 roofs program.

Explaining Photovoltaic Solar Energy | Sustainability
Do you know how solar panels generate electricity? First, there are three types of panel: photovoltaic, thermal, and thermodynamic. This video describes the process by which solar photovoltaic panels convert solar radiation into electricity. The panels are comprised of cells which isolates electric activity with the use of a battery and an inverter or converter, which then power electronic devices. Solar photovoltaic energy is preferable to other forms because it is modular, it does not pollute, it pays for itself in the long term, and its energy source is inexhaustible.
