Photovoltaics

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies – more commonly known as solar panels – generate power using devices that absorb energy from sunlight and convert it into electrical energy through semiconducting materials. Electrons in these materials are freed by solar energy and can be induced to travel through an electrical circuit, powering electrical devices or sending electricity to the grid. These devices, known as solar cells, are then connected to form larger power-generating units known as modules or panels.

Photovoltaics Technologies include:

·   Crystalline Silicon

·   Cadmium Telluride

·   Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide

·   Perovskites

·   Multijunction
