We define power generation from light energy as photovoltaic; since it relies on the Yangtze River, should it not be called riverovoltaic? Is it called a sea flood due to tides?

I completely agree with Nut’s view. Additionally, power generation using river water flow should be called hydrovoltaic ； Thermal power generation is called coal power; nuclear power is called uranium power or plutonium power. Once nuclear fusion becomes successful, it should be called hydrogen power. Power generated by small gasoline or diesel engines is called oil power. Geothermal power generation could be referred to as geopower. The method of generating electricity through static electricity, using materials like rubber or amber, is called friction power. Tidal power generation is called sea power, but wave power is a more appropriate term. As for electricity generated by chemical batteries, it can be named according to the material used, such as zinc power, lithium power, silver power, iron power, etc. I often see posts from Nut Sea friends, which gives me an inexplicable sense of excitement: lol

The normal translation for photovoltaic should be photoelectric; is it the photoelectric effect? Why is there such a translation that combines local and foreign terms in the context of photovoltaics? It’s still a problem left over from the past; in old factories, among the older workers, various terms are often used, and it’s not clear what the pronunciation of these terms is.

There’s also thorium voltage, which you haven’t mentioned yet – the experienced drivers and masters.
