photo voltaic cells convert light energy to electricalenergy The conversion of sunlight to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells, also known as solar cells, is based on the photoelectric effect discovered by Alexander Bequerel in 1839. The photoelectric effect describes the release of positive and negative charge carriers in a solid state when light strikes its surface.
