photovoltaic panels
Sunlight electricity generators
Photovoltaic panels are devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity.
The term is technical; in everyday speech, people usually say solar panels.
Photovoltaic refers to the physical process—photons striking semiconductor material and generating voltage.
The roof was covered with photovoltaic panels.
Often abbreviated PV panels.
