(PV) cells. (Also known as solar cells.) A photovoltaic cell is made of thin wafers of two slightly different types of silicon, which, when exposed to light, will produce an electric current. Photovoltaic cells thus convert light energy into electrical energy.
Photo- light, Voltaic- produces voltage. Means "Produces voltage from light" Usually refers to solar cells or solar panels.
Photovoltaic is the type of technology used to make solar electricity.
electricity from sunlight, e.g. photovoltaic (solar) panels
Material that generates voltage when exposed to light. Used to produce solar cells.
A solar cell made up of semiconducting material which absorbs sunlight to produce electricity.
Having the property of turning light directly into electricity.
A process by which light power is converted directly into electric power and is often referred to as PV for short. Crystalline silicon or gallium arsenide or other semi-conductor materials are used in such as process.
creating electricity from sunlight
Capable of producing electricity when exposed to radiant energy, especially visible light.
effect by which light energy is directly transformed into electrical energy in a semiconductor
A substance is photovoltaic if it is able to convert sunlight into electricity.
A system that converts sunlight directly into electricity using cells made of silicon or other conductive materials. When sunlight hits the cells, a chemical reaction occurs, resulting in the release of electricity. Reverse Osmosis (RO): A membrane separation process designed to treat wastewater containing a variety of contaminants including organic compounds.
A process to convert light into electrical energy within a silicon chip.
the production of electricity from light. See also Solar cell.
Converting light into electricity. Photo means "light" voltaic means "electric". Often referred to as "PV" for short. More commonly referred to as "solar electric".
Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity.
The phenomenon of converting light to electric power. Photo = light, Volt = electricity. Abbreviation: PV. PV - The common abbreviation for photovoltaic.
direct conversion of light into electrical energy.
refers to any device which produces free electrons when exposed to light. When these electrons are properly gathered, a potential difference (voltage) may be produced by the device, for example, a solar cell produces approximately one half volt in full sun.
Converts energy from light into electricity.
The direct conversion of light into electricity.
Direct conversion of sunlight to electricity through use of photo-conversion cells, typically using conducting layers of crystalline silicon cells.
The process of converting light into electricity. Photo means "light", voltaic means "electric". Often referred to as “PV” and “solar-electric” for short.
Specially treated (doped) silicon that creates electricity from light.
Capable of producing a voltage when exposed to radiant energy, especially light.
Comes from the words photo (meaning light) and volt, a measurement of electricity.
Solar cells that convert light to electrical energy.
Capable of producing a voltage when exposed to light or other radiation.
A process where sunlight is converted to electricity.
Literally, "light" (photo) and "electricity" (voltaic). The class of equipment used to generate electricity directly from sunlight.
The system of producing energy when exposed to radiant energy, especially light.
The process of converting light directly into electricity using specially designed silicon cells.
PV; the production of electricity from sunlight.
Providing an electric current under the influence of light or similar radiation.
