A photovoltaic device is a device that absorbs light (infrared, visible, and ultraviolet) and produces an electric potential. Photovoltaic devices operate by using the energy from an absorbed photon to excite an electron (or hole) across a p-n junction.
While longer wavelengths (microwaves) and shorter wavelengths (X-rays) of electromagnetic energy can also be used to produce electric potentials, the devices that do this are not considered photovoltaic because they operate on different principles.
The panel itself produces DC and if it is connected to mains electricity it needs a separate converter to change the current to AC.

A photovoltaic transducer is simply another name for a solar panel. A transducer changes one energy to another in this case light energy to electrical energy. The two most common type of photovoltaic transducers are silicon and selenium.
Photovoltaics means to generate electricity from sunlight. Tiny photovoltaic cells are used in devices such as calculators, to save battery power. Larger systems are used to provide electricity to devices or homes that are far from the interconnected electric network.
It is an input device.

A solar panel is a device that converts solar energy from the sun into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
A solar panel is a device that spins when the sun shines on it to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
a device called a photovoltalic panal
A solar panel, which is comprised of photovoltaic cells arranged in series.
A solar cell is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.
A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly known as a solar panel, directly converts sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the semiconductor material in the PV cell, it generates an electrical current that can be used to power various devices.
A photovoltaic cell, also known as a solar cell, is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. This process occurs through the photovoltaic effect, where photons from light interact with the semiconductor material in the cell to generate an electric current. Solar panels consist of multiple photovoltaic cells connected together to capture and convert sunlight into usable electricity.
