What is the photovoltaic effect?
The conversion of electromagnetic radiation (photons) to electrical voltage by a material.

Photoconductivity may be defined as changes in conductivity (the inverse of resistivity) due to electromagnetic radiation (usually light). Conductivity is a measure of the ease with which electric current flows in a material. It was the photoconductive properties of selenium which led to the discovery of its photovoltaic properties.

The Seebeck effect is the production of an electric current as a result of a circuit built from two different conducting materials where the junctions of the materials are at different temperatures. This effect is the basis of the thermocouple, and is related to the Peltier effect and the Thomson effect. Note that this effect is not directly relate
