Photovoltaic modules use light energy ( photons ) from the Sun to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
13.
The photovoltaic effect can also occur when two photons are absorbed simultaneously in a process called two-photon photovoltaic effect.

15.
Though the photovoltaic effect is directly related to the photoelectric effect, the two processes are different and should be distinguished.
16.
A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell ( PV ), is a device that converts light into electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
17.
However, in the bulk photovoltaic effect, the desired net electron motion is " opposite " the direction predicted by the drift-diffusion equation.
18.
Overall, materials that exhibit the anomalous photovoltaic effect have very low power generation efficiencies, and are never used in practical power-generation systems.
19.
All solar cells require a light absorbing material contained within the cell structure to absorb photons and generate electrons via the photovoltaic effect.
20.
This photovoltaic effect, first noticed in 1839, is the same way the flow of current is manipulated in computer logic and memory chips.
