Solar PV is a technology that converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. These cells are typically made from semiconductor materials, such as silicon, that absorb sunlight and generate an electric current. When sunlight hits the surface of a PV cell, it excites the electrons in the semiconductor, causing them to flow as electricity. This electricity can then be used to power a wide range of applications, from homes and businesses to remote locations and even entire cities.
