Solar PV systems use cells to convert sunlight into electricity. 
The PV cell consists of one or two layers of a semi conducting material, usually silicon. 
When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers causing electricity to flow.

      What if you could do a task without moving your single muscle .. don't worry this post is not to make you lazy but to should to show you the advantages of " ROBOTICS " .                 IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE ROBOTICS IS A FIELD THAT IS USED TO SUBSTITUTE AND REPLICATE HUMAN ACTIONS. IT  IS A BRANCH OF ENGINEERING THAT USES A COMBINATION OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING , COMPUTER SCIENCE ENGINEERING AS WELL AS ELECTRICAL ENGINERRING . USES - *  USED IN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY TO MANUFACTURE THE PART OF VEHICLES    * USED IN HOUSEHOLD FOR CLEANING PURPOSE * USED IN MILITARY TO DISABLE THE OPPONENT FUTURE PROSPECT - ROBOTICS HAS GOT A GREAT FUTURE PROSPECT AS NOW THE DEPENDENCY ON TECHNOLOGY IS INCREASING WHICH MEANS FURTHER PROGRESS IN THIS DISCIPLINE . THE MAIN ADVANTAGES...

Solar cells, also called photovoltaic (PV) cells by scientists, convert sunlight directly into electricity. PV gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage), which is called the  PV effect . The PV effect was discovered in 1954, when scientists at Bell Telephone discovered that silicon (an element found in sand) created an electric charge when exposed to sunlight. Soon solar cells were being used to power space satellites and smaller items like calculators and watches. Traditional solar cells are made from silicon, are usually flat-plate, and generally are the most efficient. Second-generation solar cells are called thin-film solar cells because they are made from amorphous silicon or nonsilicon materials such as cadmium telluride. Thin film solar cells use layers of semiconductor materials only a few micrometers thick. Because of their flexibility, thin film solar cells can double as rooftop shingles and tiles, building facades, or th...

ROBOTICS IN INDUSTRIES

Robotics is a branch of engineering that involves the conception, design, manufacture, and operation of robots. This field overlaps with electronics, computer science, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, nanotechnology and bioengineering. As more and more robots are designed for specific tasks this method of classification becomes more relevant. For example, many robots are designed for assembly work, which may not be readily adaptable for other applications. They are termed as "assembly robots". For seam welding, some suppliers provide complete welding systems with the robot i.e. the welding equipment along with other material handling facilities like turntables etc. as an integrated unit. Such an integrated robotic system is called a "welding robot" even though its discrete manipulator unit could be adapted to a variety of tasks. Some robots are specifically designed for heavy load manipulation, and are labelled as "heavy duty robots". ...
