photocells are powered by the intensity of light. When we put the photocells in light the free electrons of the photocell move fast in other words they get the energy from light due to which their amplitude increases and they pass the electric charge rapidly hence the photocells are generate the power.
Thermocouples are made of two different types of semi conductors when we heat the one end of the junction of thermocouple electric charge is produce this electric charge is a result of the movement of the free electrons as we increases the heat electric charge is also increase because the amplitude of the vibration of the free electrons is increases with the temprature

How do photocells generate electricity?
the photoelectrons released during photoelectric effect are used to generate electricity in photo cells
Why pilot device do not consume power?
If your talking about a pilot in a furnace or fireplace, then its because the gasvalve is powered by a thermocouple. The thermocouple is 2 dissimilar metals fused together, when heated it produces a small amount of electricity to hold the valve open.
