What renewable energy source has PV cells?
PV probably stads for 'photo-voltaic'. If that is the case then the answer is solar power as photo-voltaic cells are a crucial component of solar panels.
What cell captures solar energy?
photo voltaic cells
What is the scientific name for solar panels?
photovoltaic
When a solar eclipse happens does the electricity go out?
Only if your electricity is entirely provided by solar photo-voltaic cells. If your electrical power is generated from wind, nuclear, hydro, coal or gas, there is no reason why your power would go out.
What is Electricity from light?
Photo-voltaic cells or panels as they are often called, produce electricity in response to incident light
How light energy is transformed into electrical energy?
Simple, photo-voltaic cells, commonly known as solar panels.
What kind of energy do solar panels convert radiant energy into?
Photo-voltaic cells convert light energy to electric energy
What are some objects that use light energy to run?
Solar photo-voltaic cells use light energy to produce electrici sex
Is solar energy environmental?
Solar energy is mostly environmentally safe. It doesn't pollute the air and water unlike fossil fuels, biofuel, and waste-to-energy methods of electricity production. However, the cadmium contained in photo-voltaic cells is a heavy metal and a hazardous waste product which is potentially dangerous if photo-voltaic cells are not properly disposed.
Can transformers be used in photo voltaic inverters?
Yes.

What are alternative sources you could use tp provide energy?
Alternative source of energy beside conventional fossil fuel, nuclear power and hydro-power are Solar energy in the form of photo-voltaic cells or solar-thermal, wind energy, wave energy, geothermal energy, biological derived fuels.
