1. They have devised a new method for converting sunlight into electricity. 2. Researchers in Switzerland have developed a solar cell which mimics the ways in which plants convert sunlight into energy. 3. A typical independent home-energy system contains solar panels, which collect and convert sunlight to electricity, and batteries to store it. 4. Cells that can convert sunlight into electricity with relatively high efficiency are made from inorganic semiconducting materials and require elaborate and expensive manufacturing techniques. 5. Daryl M. Chapin, a scientist who helped invent a device for converting sunlight into electricity, died Thursday at his home in Naples, Fla. 6. Exploring the relationship of the sun and Earth, it illustrates the usefulness of photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight to electricity. 7. Fuel cells generate power by chemical reaction, and solar power converts sunlight into electricity, using silicon. 8. On the roof of an addition to the home are the shingles containing photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. 9. Opposing winglike solar power modules fastened to the ends of the long keel will convert sunlight to electricity. 10. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight to electricity. |
