photovoltaic power generation
Photovoltaic power generation is a method of converting sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells. These cells, typically made of silicon, capture light energy and convert it into an electric current. The main functions of photovoltaic systems include capturing sunlight, converting it to electrical energy, and distributing or storing the power for later use. Technological features of these systems encompass high-efficiency solar panels, inverters that convert DC to AC power, and battery storage solutions for uninterrupted supply. Photovoltaic power is applied in a variety of settings, from residential and commercial buildings to large-scale solar farms, contributing to a sustainable and renewable energy grid.
