First, lets define "photovoltaic", or "PV" (fo'to-vol-ta'ik): adj. Capable of producing a voltage when exposed to radiant energy, especially light.
Now, lets look at why PV is Perfect. The technological advances in the solar power industry are making it easier than ever to live and work in harmony with nature. Solar panels have no moving parts, require no fuel, make no noise, and give off no emissions. Our supply of sunlight is limitless, and available to anyone with a view of the sky. Solar panels create electricity during the day, when our demand for energy is the highest. We need electricity for nearly everything in our modern world. The traditional ways are costing us more money every year and doing damage that our children will have to deal with. Nature can provide all the electricity we need...if we can see the light.
