Solar photovoltaic panels, commonly known as PV panels, are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are composed of photovoltaic cells, typically made from semiconductor materials like silicon. When sunlight, made up of particles called photons, strikes these cells, it excites electrons and generates a direct electric current through a process known as the photovoltaic effect23. These panels can vary in size and efficiency, and they are designed to respond to both direct and diffuse sunlight5. [pdf]
