Photovoltaic cells are solar cells. Solar cells produce electricity whenever there is light.
Solar cells, also known as "solar chips" or "photovoltaic cells", are optoelectronic semiconductor sheets that use sunlight to directly generate electricity. As long as it is illuminated by light, it can instantly produce voltage and generate current if there is a loop. In physics, it is called solar photovoltaic (Photovoltaic, photo light, voltaic volt, abbreviated PV), or photovoltaic for short.
Solar cells are devices that directly convert light energy into electrical energy by the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. Thin film solar cells that work with the photoelectric effect are the most widespread, while solar cells that work with the photo effectochemical are still in their infancy.
