Solar explained Photovoltaics and electricity

Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. A photovoltaic (PV) cell, commonly called a solar cell, is a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity.Some PV cells can convert artificial light into electricity. Sunlight is composed of photons, or particles of solar energy.These photons contain varying amounts of energy that correspond to the different

National Survey Report of PV Power Applications in Italy 2019

PV electricity production reached 23.689 GWh, with a growth compared to the previous year (+4,6%) mainly due to better irradiation conditions. Out of the 23.689 GWh produced in Italy in 2019, 52% is generated by the industrial sector, 20% by the tertiary sector, 15% by the domestic sector and 13% by the agricultural sector.
