Information for Students
| Photovoltaics, or PV for short, is a solar power technology that uses solar cells or solar photovoltaic arrays to convert light from the sun directly into electricity. Photovoltaics is also the field of study relating to this technology at the University of Toledo. |
 |
| The manufacturing of photovoltaic cells has expanded dramatically in recent years. Photovoltaic production has been doubling every two years, increasing by an average of 48 percent each year since 2002, making it the world’s fastest-growing energy technology. |
|
The University of Toledo offers a lifetime of opportunities in alternative energy education, research, and business incubation.
|
| Photovoltaics Fields of Study include: Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biological Sciences, Atmospheric Science, Remote Sensing, Computer Science, and Mathematics. |
| Photovoltaic Career Opportunities: research, development, administration, and teaching, private companies, government, universities, colleges, schools, hospitals, and laboratories. Jobs developed from photovoltaics range from entry level to management, in both the scientific and non-scientific fields such as technicians, engineering, construction, administration, information technology, communication, manufacturing, education, marketing, finance, accounting, design, and sales. |
