  • The photovoltaic effect of solar energy is used

    The photovoltaic effect of solar energy is used

    The photovoltaic effect is closely related to the photoelectric effect. For both phenomena, light is absorbed, causing excitation of an electron or other charge carrier to a higher-energy state.


    FAQs about The photovoltaic effect of solar energy is used

    What is the photovoltaic effect?

    The photovoltaic effect is a process that generates voltage or electric current in a photovoltaic cell when it is exposed to sunlight. It is this effect that makes solar panels useful, as it is how the cells within the panel convert sunlight to electrical energy. The photovoltaic effect was first discovered in 1839 by Edmond Becquerel.

    What is a photovoltaic current used for?

    This current can be used to measure the brightness of the incident light or as a source of power in an electrical circuit, as in a solar power system (see solar cell). The photovoltaic effect in a solar cell can be illustrated with an analogy to a child at a slide.
