Many elevators and garage-door systems use a beam of light and a photoelectric device known as a photocell as a safety feature. As long as the beam of light strikes the photocell, the photoelectric effect generates enough ejected electrons to produce a detectable electric current. When the light beam is blocked (by a person) the electric current is interrupted and the doors are signaled to open.
Photocells are also the basic unit in the solar energy panels that convert some of the energy in sunlight into electrical energy. These panels are able to operate billboards and safety lights in remote areas far from power lines. Large solar panels (240 ft.) will power the International Space Station.
