Practical Photovoltaic Systems are No Longer Light Years Away
by John R. Gyorki, Editorial Director Although several theoretical and experimental techniques of converting sunlight into electric energy exist, only two, photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP), have survived for practical applications. Photovoltaic energy systems convert solar light energy directly into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which exhibit the photoelectric […]
