Biological photovoltaics, also called biophotovoltaics[1] or BPV, is an energy-generating technology which uses oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms, or fractions thereof, to harvest light energy and produce electrical power. These systems generate electrons through the photolysis of water, which are then transferred to an anode. Using the cyanobacterium. . The concept is rather straightforward yet profound: bio solar panels leverage natural biological elements to enhance the efficiency of solar energy capture. BPV systems are sometimes also described as living solar panels. Take a look at the video for an introduction here.
