Photovoltaic Cell Defined: A photovoltaic cell, also known as a solar cell, is defined as a device that converts light into electricity using the photovoltaic effect. Working Principle: The solar cell working principle involves converting light energy into electrical energy by separating light-induced charge carriers within a semiconductor.
PV cells, or solar cells, generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using the light energy to create an electrical current. The process of how PV cells work can be broken down into three basic steps: first, a PV cell absorbs light and knocks electrons loose. Then, an electric current is created by the loose-flowing electrons.
An inverter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system. It''s a device that converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical grid uses. In DC, electricity is maintained at constant voltage in one direction.
