    technology converting sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductors

    Photovoltaic (PV) refers to the technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor materials. When sunlight hits these materials, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. This technology is commonly used in solar panels, which are composed of multiple photovoltaic cells working together to generate power for various applications, from small devices to entire buildings.
