The photovoltaic effect is what allows sunlight to be captured and converted into electrical energy. Whether it’s to move our bodies, grow our crops, or power our homes, energy powers our world. While humanity has been harnessing the sun’s energy as heat for centuries, solar PV has allowed us to directly capitalize on the sun’s rays. Solar energy conversion has the potential to be a very cost-effective technology.
