  2. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

    A photovoltaic system, or solar PV system is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and directly convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting ...

  3. Solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    Solar array mounted on a rooftop Greencap Energy solar array mounted on brewery in Worthing, England. A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light.

  4. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell (PV cell), is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. [1] It is a type of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current , voltage , or resistance ) vary when it is exposed to light.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_solar_cell

    Fig. 3: Examples of organic photovoltaic materials. A photovoltaic cell is a specialized semiconductor diode that converts light into direct current (DC) electricity. . Depending on the band gap of the light-absorbing material, photovoltaic cells can also convert low-energy, infrared (IR) or high-energy, ultraviolet (UV) photons into DC ele

  6. Thin-film solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin-film_solar_cell

    In a typical solar cell, the photovoltaic effect is used to generate electricity from sunlight. The light-absorbing or "active layer" of the solar cell is typically a semiconducting material, meaning that there is a gap in its energy spectrum between the valence band of localized electrons around host ions and the conduction band of higher-energy electrons which are free to move throughout the ...

  7. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Cadmium_telluride_photovoltaics

    Only three methods of high-value recycling are industrially available for thin-film PV modules, as of 2013. SENSE (Sustainability EvaluatioN of Solar Energy systems) and RESOLVED (REcovery of SOLar Valuable materials, Enrichment, and Decontamination) are European funded procedures. SENSE relies on mechanical, chemical and thermal treatments.
