This is a technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using semiconducting materials, such as silicon. PV cells are typically made into solar panels that can be mounted on rooftops or other structures to generate electricity from sunlight. PV technology is widely used in the renewable-energy sector to produce clean and sustainable electricity and has become increasingly cost-effective and efficient over time.
