Concentrated Solar Power (CSP): What You Need to Know
Solar energy is energy from the sun that we capture with various technologies, including solar panels. There are two main types of solar energy: photovoltaic (solar panels) and thermal. The "photovoltaic effect" is the mechanism by which solar panels harness the sun
The semiconductor device that transforms solar light in electrical energy is termed as ''Photovoltaic cell'', and the phenomenon is named as ''Photovoltaic effect''. To size a solar PV array, cells are assembled in form of series-parallel configuration for requisite energy [37], [38], [39]..

A solar photovoltaic power plant harnesses sunlight to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect . This process involves the use of solar panels,typically composed of semiconductor materials such as silicon, which absorb photon from sunlight and release electrons,creating an electric current .
The definition of photovoltaic technology lies in its ability to convert sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells made from various materials such as silicon and cadmium telluride. These solar pv panels are specially treated to create a flow of electrons when exposed to light, which is then used in a solar pv system to power homes and businesses.
