| | תאי שמש | Explanation: Recently, I did a whole brochure about solar system with photovoltaic cells, which I referred to, correctly and comprehensibly, as:
תאי שמש
Transliterating "photovoltaic" as such makes it totally unintelligible for the common reader. |

 Doron Greenspan MITI Local time: 02:15
| Grading comment The huge difference in Google hits in favour of תאי שמש "suggests" it is more commonly use, and the bonus: it's in Hebrew... 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer |

6 mins confidence:  | photovoltaic פוטווולטאי
Explanation: תא פוטוולטאי נקרא גם תא שמש או תא סולרי. תא פוטו וולטאי מורכב משכבות של חומרים מוליכים למחצה כגון צורן (סיליקון) המשמש גם בתעשיית שבבי המחשב.
בתהליך הייצור מוטענת שכבה אחת של מוליך למחצה במטען חיובי ושכבה נוספת מוטענת במטען שלילי כך שנוצר בין השכבות שדה אלקטרומגנטי (שדה חשמלי).
חשיפת התא לקרינת שמש יוצרת תנועה של אלקטרונים היוצרים זרם חשמלי.

trying to post the link again but it wouldn't open since it contains hebrew words which proz is apparently not able to read, but I am sure פוטווולטאי is the term, we translated a document on this in the past, but I'll try to find another link for you, hold on pls.

Asker: If it's also called תא שמש, wouldn't it be more appropriate to write תא שמש in Hebrew?
Asker: Also, the link you gave is not valid. Can you post it again.
Asker: Thank you!

15 hrs confidence:  | photovoltaic פוטואלקטרי
Explanation: המונחים photovoltaic ו-photoelectric הם מונחים נרדפים והתרגום המקובל לעברית הוא פוטואלקטרי (גם פוטו-וולטאי מוכר) כך שניתן להשתמש בשניהם.
