PV cells are the correct term for a cell that converts solar energy directly to electric energy

Photovoltaic cells converts solar energy into electricity.
Photovoltaic does not convert into energy ,it converts solar energy into direct current electricity.
a PHOTOVOLTALIC cell
The solar panel harnesses solar energy and converts it to electricity. The wind turbine converts wind energy into mechanical power and then electricity. The battery stores electrical energy for later use.
YES. because it converts the solar energy into electrical energy
A solar panel is a device that converts solar energy from the sun into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
Voltaic Solar panels
The two forms of solar energy that we are most familiar with are solar thermal energy, which converts sunlight into heat, and solar photovoltaic energy, which converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels.
A solar panel, also known as a photovoltaic panel, converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect where sunlight is converted into electricity using semiconductor materials.
Solar panels
A solar panel, which is made up of photovoltaic cells, is the device that converts solar energy into electricity. When sunlight hits the cells, it creates an electric current by freeing electrons in silicon atoms, which produces usable electricity.
A solar cell is not an energy source, but an energy converter. In the case of solar, the energy source is light, and the solar cell converts it from light energy to electrical energy.
