Photovoltaics (PV) is the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells for energy by converting sunlight directly into electricity. Due to the growing need for solar energy, the manufacture of solar cells and photvoltaic arrays has expanded dramatically in recent years.
Photovoltaic production has been doubling every two years, increasing by an average of 48 percent each year since 2002, making it the world’s fastest-growing energy technology.
The most important material for solar cell production is silicon and is currently almost the only material used for solar cell mass production.
