Photovoltaics is a method for generating electric power by using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into a flow of electrons by the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells produce direct current electricity from sunlight which can be used to power equipment or to recharge a battery. You may have wondered about the fence in the parking lot and the construction going on. The school is having solar panels installed that will supply 30% of the school’s electricity. How cool (or hot) is that?
