Answer: The most commonly used type of cell to convert solar energy into electricity is the photovoltaic (PV) cell
Explanation: also known as a solar cell. Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices that directly convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Silicon-based solar cells are the most prevalent type, with monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and thin-film silicon being the main variations. These cells are widely used in solar panels for residential, commercial, and industrial applications to generate clean and sustainable electrical power from sunlight.
