Solar cells are typically named after the of which they are composed. These have varying characteristics to absorb optimal available spectrum. Some cells are designed to handle sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, while others are optimized for. Solar cells can be made of a single layer of light-absorbing material () or use multiple physical confi.

Terawatt (TW) : 1 TW = 1000 GW, rarely used in photovoltaics, more used in global energy statistics. Watt-hour (Wh) : Indicates the energy generated by 1 watt of power in 1 hour, suitable for small-scale systems.
