"Photovoltaics (PV) is a method of generating electrical power by
converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using
semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic
power generation employs solar panels composed of a number of solar
cells containing a photovoltaic material. Materials presently used
for photovoltaics include monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline
silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, and copper indium
gallium selenide/sulfide. Due to the increased demand for renewable
energy sources, the manufacturing of solar cells and photovoltaic
arrays has advanced considerably in recent years."
