The 24 pages that link to Photovoltaic effect, each with the reason it gives.

• Band gapRelated: The gap sets the minimum photon energy absorbed by a photovoltaic material.

• SiliconRelated: Silicon solar cells convert absorbed photons into mobile charge carriers.

• PhotodetectorRelated: It enables photodetectors that generate electrical output from light directly.

• Electromotive forceRelated: Solar cells use light-driven charge separation to establish EMF.

• PhotodiodeRelated: Photodiodes produce electrical output through this conversion of absorbed light into charge separation.

• Electron–hole pairRelated: Separated photogenerated pairs produce electrical power in solar cells.

• Band theoryRelated: Photons can excite electrons across a semiconductor’s band gap, creating mobile carriers.

• Electricity generationRelated: Solar cells generate electricity directly from light rather than through a turbine.

• Copper(I) oxideRelated: Light absorption in Cu₂O can create charge carriers for photovoltaic conversion.

• OptoelectronicsRelated: It explains how optoelectronic devices such as solar cells harvest light as electricity.

• Bertrand PiccardRelated: Solar Impulse’s cells converted sunlight into the electricity that powered its motors.

• Atomic batteryRelated: Some atomic batteries first convert decay radiation into light, then use photovoltaic cells.

• Valence and conduction bandsRelated: Absorbed photons can excite electrons from valence to conduction states.
