Solar Photovoltaic Technology Basics | Department of Energy
What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four …
The energy output of a solar panel does not match the typical daily power use of a household or business. Solar energy output rises and falls with the sun and the weather. Household peak power demands are typically in the morning and evening when the sun is low/non-existent and generation output is low/non-existent.
