A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. 5 volts, so dozens are wired together into the panels you see on rooftops. The underlying principle is simple: light energy knocks electrons loose. Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry.
