Article overview

[edit]

This article was born from sections of Photovoltaics, Photovoltaic system, and Solar cell. These articles all extensively detailed their individual (but redundant) real-world applications in article sub-sections that began to balloon, I thought it best to split the topic off into its own separate article for clarity. Feel free to expand this list and/or categories as required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DjDias (talkcontribs) 19:00, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New page review

[edit]

This is pretty good for a first-time editor. Here are some points that could use improvement:

  • The tone is not quite correct for an encyclopedia article: it reads more like an essay, which is a different kind of writing, and no doubt one you are more used to as a college student. I'm not a particularly skilled content creator myself and am not sure I could give you advice on how to correct that, apart from reading other "Applications of …" articles, seeing what they are like, and imitating them.
  • On that specific note, the lead of an encyclopedia article serves a very different purpose from the introduction of an essay: while an essay intro is intended to introduce the background and significance of a topic, an encyclopedia article's lead serves only to summarize its body. The current lead, I feel, does not adequately do that.

I thought I had more to say, but I guess I'll leave it at that unless I think of something else. Compassionate727 (T·C) 22:24, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
