How Does Solar Photovoltaic Technology Work?
Edmond Becquerel, a physicist, at the age of 19 was the first to demonstrate the effect. He observed that when light hit silicon it generated electricity. Since then solar energy from photovoltaics (PV) has emerged as one of the most used sources of power worldwide. It powers applications ranging from household appliances and lighting to spacecraft and satellites orbiting our planet. (more…)
