Solar photovoltaic power generation ndi njira yogwiritsira ntchito maselo a dzuwa kuti atembenuzire mwachindunji mphamvu ya dzuwa kukhala mphamvu yamagetsi molingana ndi mfundo ya photovoltaic effect. Ndi njira yogwiritsira ntchito mphamvu ya dzuwa moyenera komanso mwachindunji.
Ukadaulo wa ma cell a solar akadali munthawi yachitukuko chofulumira. Kumene kuli kuwala kwa dzuwa, magetsi amatha kupanga. Iyi ndiye mfundo yoyambira yogwiritsira ntchito ma cell a dzuwa ndi mwayi wawo waukulu. Njira yopangira mphamvu sikuyenera kuwononga zida zilizonse, palibe phokoso ndi gasi wotayika, zinyalala, palibe kuipitsa.
Kaya amagwiritsidwa ntchito paokha kapena olumikizidwa ndi gridi, makina opanga magetsi a photovoltaic makamaka amapangidwa ndi solar panel (zigawo), olamulira ndi ma inverters. Amapangidwa makamaka ndi zida zamagetsi, koma samaphatikizapo zida zamakina.
Chifukwa chake, zida zopangira magetsi za photovoltaic ndizoyengedwa kwambiri, zodalirika komanso zokhazikika, moyo wautali, kukhazikitsa kosavuta ndi kukonza. Mwachidziwitso, teknoloji ya photovoltaic ingagwiritsidwe ntchito pa chirichonse chomwe chimafuna mphamvu, kuchokera ku ndege kupita ku mphamvu zapakhomo, kuchokera ku magetsi a megawati kupita ku zidole.
