Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts light from the sun into electricity. The conversion process occurs when sunlight reaches a semiconductor within a PV cell, and electrons are freed to form an electrical current.

Solar panels are the primary method of producing electricity using this technique, and are scalable depending on the needs of the user. PV cells are made from various semiconductor materials, of which silicon is the most popular; however, developments and research are ongoing to find alternative and more effective materials.

The global solar PV market is rising rapidly, looking to reach 1,583GW by 2030
