Photovoltaic technology allows the direct conversion of the sun's energy in electricity. There are various kind of pv panels, such as mono and polycristalline silicon, and thin film panels. The main difference between them is the efficiency. This power source is quite expensive nowadays but has no co2 emission and a quite long life span.

Solar photovoltaic electricity is electricity generated when sunlight (including UV radiation) hits a solar cell causing electrons to become excited. This creates an electrical current.

Solar cells are combined to capture the sun, or more exactly, photons. Photons are the most fundamental parts of light. The photons subsequently mix with very small particles of negative electricity, or electrons. They merge and we have electricity, or the 'photovoltaic effect. ' An example of solar photovoltaic electricity in action is the solar panel.
