What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four human hairs.
Photovoltaic (PV) systems based on solar energy offer an environmentally friendly source of electricity. A key feature of such PV system is the efficiency of conversion at which the power converter stage can extract the energy from the PV arrays and deliver to the load.
