How do they work
A photovoltaic cell works by absorbing photons from a light source.
When these photons reach the PV cell they will either pass through the
cell, be reflected or be absorbed. Only the absorbed protons produce electricty.
When the proton enters the cell it's energy is passed on to an electron,
which is positiond with an atom. With this new energy the electron is
able to leave the electron and become part of the electric current.
