Domain components
  • a semi-conductor electrical junction device which directly and efficiently absorbs the radiant energy of sunlight and converts it into electrical energy
  • a device converting solar radiation into electricity
Good to know

fotoelektriline element deprecated
Good to know
  • „Fotoelektriline element“ on kahemõtteline, sest ta võib tähendada ka igasugust kiirgusdetektorit (ka näiteks UV kiirguse oma).
solar cell
Usage examples
  • Solar cells are of various types: Photovoltaic, thermionic, and thermoelectric.
  • Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells.
solar battery
Good to know
  • "Solar battery" tähendus on ajas muutunud. Alguses oli ta tähenduses "solar cell" ...
photovoltaic cell deprecated
Good to know
  • Solar cell and photovoltaic cell are often used as synonyms, but there is a technical difference: solar cells convert the energy of the sun's radiation into electrical energy, where photovoltaic cells convert any light radiation into electricity.

  • tundlik element, mis kasutab mõõtmiseks fotogalvaanilist efekti
  • fotoelektriline tundlik element, mis kasutab mõõtmiseks optilise kiirguse neeldumisel tekkivat elektromotoorjõudu
  • device in which for measurement the photovoltaic effect is utilized
  • photoelectric detector that utilizes for measurement the electromotive force produced by the absorption of optical radiation
  • electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect
fotogalvaaniline element preferred
Usage examples
  • Fotogalvaaniline element on fotoelektrilise elemendi vorm, st mõõtevahend, mille elektrilisi omadusi iseloomustavad suurused, nt vool, pinge või takistus, varieeruvad valguse käes.
photovoltaic cell preferred
Usage examples
  • Photovoltaic cell is a form of photoelectric cell, a device whose electrical characteristics (such as current, voltage, or resistance) vary when exposed to light.
