However, the technical language used in engineering or technical texts is different from layman languages and may use stopwords that are less prevalent in layperson languages.
Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices that can generate electrical energy based on energy of light that they absorb.They are also often called solar cells because their primary use is to generate electricity specifically from sunlight, but there are few applications where other light is used; for example, for power over fiber one usually uses laser light.
