Abstract

Apparatus (2) for generating electricity from solar energy, which appa ratus (2) comprises an array of photovoltaic cells arranged to generate the electricity from the solar energy, and means for establishing an external field able to enhanc e the operation of the array of photovoltaic cells such that the array of photovoltaic cells produce more electricity than would be the case without the presence of the external field. The external field may be an electric field, a magnetic field, an electrostatic field, a static field, a dynamic field, an oscillatory field, a high frequency field, a low frequency field. Polarisation means may be included for linear or elliptical polarization of light incident on the PV array. A concentrating means may be included to concentrate light onto the PV array.
