False.
A photovoltaic (solar) cell converts radiant energy from photons (light) into electrical energy via the photovoltaic effect in a semiconductor. It does not directly convert thermal (heat) energy into electricity — that is done by thermoelectric devices or heat engines (or by converting sunlight to heat first in solar-thermal systems).
