Imirasire y'izuba, izwi kandi nk'izuba, igizwe na selile nyinshi zifotora (PV) zifata ingufu z'izuba zikayihindura amashanyarazi.Izi selile zisanzwe zikozwe muri silikoni cyangwa ibindi bikoresho bya semiconducting, kandi zikora mugukuramo fotone kumurasire yizuba, irekura electron kandi ikabyara amashanyarazi.Amashanyarazi akomoka ku mirasire y'izuba ni uburyo bw'amashanyarazi ataziguye (DC), ashobora guhindurwa mu guhinduranya amashanyarazi (AC) akoresheje inverter kugirango ikoreshwe mu ngo no mu bucuruzi.
