2. Building-integrated photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building-integrated...

   Building-integrated photovoltaics ( BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or façades. [ 1] They are increasingly being incorporated into the construction of new buildings as a principal or ancillary source of electrical power ...

3. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   Solar panels on the International Space Station. Photovoltaics ( PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. The photovoltaic effect is commercially used for electricity generation and as photosensors .
