Customer ServiceIntroduction. The function of a solar cell, as shown in Figure 1, is to convert radiated light from the sun into electricity. Another commonly used na me is photovoltaic (PV) derived from the Greek words "phos" and "volt" meaning light and electrical voltage respectively [1]. In 1953, the first person to produce a silicon solar cell was a Bell Laboratories physicist by the name of
Customer ServiceWhat 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.
