The conversion of solar energy into electricity occurs when electromagnetic waves strike photovoltaic cells (pv). the photons of the electromagnetic waves produce electricity by doing what in this process? a) electromagnetic wave energy is transformed into alternating current and is transferred to electric generators for use. b) the pv's convert the sun's rays into electricity by causing the release of photons are transformed into moving electrons. c) the pv's convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. d) photons emitted fro the sun's rays are directed to an electrical generator and the stream of photons produces an electric current.
