Option 1 : 1 only

The Correct Answer is Option 1.

Photovoltaic (PV) devices generate electricity directly from sunlight using PV cells made up of semiconductors.
Photovoltaic devices convert optional radiation into electricity.
Several solar thermal systems can collect and transform radiant energy received from the sun into high-temperature thermal (heat) energy, which can be used directly or converted into electricity. Hence Statement 1 is Correct.
