Create a poster that contains the following information: A photovoltaic (PV) cell, or a solar cell, for instance, is a nonmechanical device converting sunlight directly into electricity. Solar Cell, A device that directly converts the energy of light into electrical Solar cells are a remarkable technology that harnesses the power of the sun to generate clean, renewable electricity. The Conversion Process The process of converting solar energy into electrical energy involves Solar Radiation When sunlight hits a solar cell, the light can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted. The absorbed light is essential for generating electricity. Photon Absorption The photovoltaic material, typically silicon, absorbs photons from sunlight, creating electron-hole pairs. This is crucial for generating electric charge carriers. Generation of Electric Current The structure of the solar cell generates an electric field, driving the electrons toward the front of the cell. This movement creates a direct current (DC), which c
