1923, from photo- + voltaic. Related: Photovoltaics (see -ics).

able to convert solar radiation to electrical energy.

The process of converting radiation from sunlight directly into electricity using specially designed silicon cells.

(PV)--Pertaining to the direct conversion of light into electricity.

Electricity directly converted from solar energy. The word derives from "photo" (light) and "voltaic" (electricity).

(adj) producing a voltage when exposed to radiant energy (especially light)

 - Refers to the conversion of light into electricity.

Capable of producing a voltage when exposed to light or other radiation.

This word is used to describe any device that creates electricity from light. A solar panel is said to be photovoltaic because it takes light (photo) and turns it into electricity (volts).

the direct conversion of light into electricity. Photo means "light", voltaic means "electric".

Able to produce voltage when exposed to light.

Capable of producing a voltage when exposed to radiant energy, especially light.

The process by which radiant (solar) energy is converted directly into electrical energy using a solar cell.

Generating electricity directly using natural sunlight.

The process of converting light into electrical energy. A PV cell ls a device that converts light into electrical energy. The PV cells are manufactured into a module, which is then wired into an array [..]

Photo – meaning light and voltaic – referring to electricity. Photons sent from the sun are absorbed by the panels and converted to electricity.

Photovoltaics, or PV as you’ll often see it, is a solar energy technology that uses unique properties of semiconductors to directly convert solar radiation into energy. When PV cells, or solar cells, [..]

Technology that converts light directly into electricity.

A technology for converting solar energy into electrical energy, typically by way of photovoltaic cells or panels consisting of a number of cells.

Something that produces a flow of electricity as a result of light shining upon it

Materials that convert light into electric current.

technology for converting sunlight directly into electricity, usually with photovoltaic cells

When light energy or emissions are converted into electricity.

(PV) Generation of electricity directly from sunlight. A photovoltaic cell has no moving parts; electrons are energized by sunlight and result in current flow.

The term refers to technological systems that convert solar radiation directly into electric energy (photovoltaic systems

Photovoltaic (PV) cells produce electric current from light energy (photons). PV cells are joined to make PV panels.

Of or pertaining to a material or device in which electricity is generated as a result of exposure to light.

electrical power generation by light

the direct conversion of light into electricity

Generating a voltage when exposed to light.

A technology that directly converts light into electricity. The process uses modules, which are usually made up of many cells (thin layers of semiconductors).
