Photovoltaics is the name for direct conversion of light into electricity in
solar cells.
A solar cell producing 1 Wp means e.g. 1 V and 1 A at Standard Test Conditions ( STC ). STC is defined as an insolation of 1000 W/m2 at the right angle to the
solar cell, 25º C cell temperature and an AM 1.5 sunlight spectrum ( like in middle-Europe ).
Did you know?
Albert Einstein already discovered the photovoltaic effect in the year
1905, for which he was rewarded the Nobel-Prize in Physics in 1921.
