3. Energy Potential for PV The sun radiates more than enough energy onto the Earth in just one day to provide enough energy for the global population of 5.9 billion people for 27 years
4. The Photovoltaic Effect The photovoltaic effect is the conversion of light energy into electrical energy and needs a semiconductor material like silicon to absorb the solar radiation and convert it into electricity. Unlike metals where electricity can only be conducted by electrons, semiconductors can conduct electricity with negatively charged electrons and positively charged “holes”
