Solar cells, also called photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight directly into electricity. Photovoltaics (often shortened as PV) gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage), which is called the photovoltaic effect. This phenomenon was first exploited in 1954 by scientists at Bell Laboratories who created ...

As mentioned earlier, photovoltaic solar energy systems are about 13% to 20% efficient on average, with high-end panels going up to 25%. Solar thermal panels, on the other hand, can go as high as 70%. Conversely, solar voltaic energy is more storable since solar thermal power often focuses on maintaining heat.
