solar photovoltaic

A nonmechanical device that converts sunlight into electricity. Consists of photovoltaic cells, mounting hardware, electrical connections, power-conditioning equipment, and an energy storage device. Individual cells can be grouped into modules to form larger collectors, which can in turn be further grouped into photovoltaic arrays, necessary for industrial-level electricity production. The number and size of the modules can vary depending on the availability and intensity of the sunlight, the geographical location of the modules, and the user’s needs. See also: Energy
