    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    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. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.

  3. Solar cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

    A solar cell or 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 form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current, voltage, or resistance) vary when it is exposed to light.

  4. Solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

    Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current. [2] Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar ...
