Photovoltaics The Fastest Growing Energy Source

• The direct conversion of solar energy to electricity by photovoltaic cells is emerging as a leading contender for next-generation green power production. Photovoltaics is the fastest growing energy source. Cumulative global PV production stands at 12,400 megawatts, enough to power 2.4 million U.S. homes.

It literally means "light-electricity," and is the process of converting sunlight directly into electricity. The terms Photovoltaics, PV, solar electric, and solarvoltaics are often used interchangeably. Put simply, when some semiconductor materials are exposed to sunlight, electrons in the material's atoms gain energy and escape from their normal positions on the atoms and become part of the current in an electrical circuit. A solar cell has a built-in electric field that provides voltage that drives the current through an external load, such as a light bulb, a battery, or an inverter.

Solarvoltaics Corp. main business is the development of utility scale solar power plants. However, we provide various types of support to a wide range of PV providers network, including independent contractors licensed to install PV systems and commercial energy entities selling solar electricity according to Photovoltaics as-a-Service operational model.

PV as a Service lets customers buy photovoltaic systems as a pay-as-you-go service that scales up or down to meet their consumption needs. Contact us to learn more about utility-based and management approach for photovoltaics.
