Solar Photovoltaic Power (PV)
is the most widely available renewable
energy resource. Photovoltaic power
converts sunlight directly
into electricity.
Due to the growing demand for clean
sources of energy, the manufacture
of solar
cells and photovoltaic
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.
