How does the photovoltaic cell work?
Photovoltaic energy is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. A photovoltaic cell, commonly called a solar cell or PV, is the technology used to convert solar energy directly into electrical power. A photovoltaic cell is a nonmechanical device usually made from silicon alloys. When light strikes these silicon alloys, it frees electrons which can be collected onto attached conductive plates.
Which tool converts sunlight into electricity?
Photovoltaic cell
What does a photovoltaic cell do?
It produces a DC voltage as a result of incident sunlight
Device that directly converts solar energy?
That'd be a photovoltaic cell.
What is a comparison of the amount of energy before conversion with the amount of useful energy after conversion?
Energy Efficiency

What is the device that turns solar energy into electrical energy?
A photovoltaic cell.A photovoltaic cell.A photovoltaic cell.A photovoltaic cell.
How do photovoltaic cells works?
Photovoltaic energy is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. A photovoltaic cell, commonly called a solar cell or PV, is the technology used to convert solar energy directly into electrical power. A photovoltaic cell is a nonmechanical device usually made from silicon alloys. Photons in sunlight interact with electrons held by the silicon atoms, the electrons are excited beyond their highest energy levels and are emitted. The electrons then form an electric circuit, this phenomenon is known as the Photoelectric effect.
What is cells use for?
A solar cell or photovoltaic cell is a device that converts light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.
Are photovoltaic cells bigger than solar cells?
Yes, the photovoltaic cell is bigger than the solar cell.
How do you use photovoltaic in a sentence?
The photovoltaic cell generated electricity when it was pointed at the sunlight.
What is solar cells used for?
A solar cell or photovoltaic cell is a device that converts light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.
Why efficiency of solar photovoltaic cell is not 100 percent?
Because semiconductors such as silicon are indirect bandgap semiconductors, so some of the light energy is wasted as lattice vibrations (phonons).
Light is converted into electricity in an?
photovoltaic cell, photoelectric cell, photocell
What is another name for a solar cell that generates electricity?
photovoltaic cell
A cell that converts solar energy to electricity?
Photovoltaic
Which tool converts sunlight into electricity?
Photovoltaic cell
