Beaconator, are you going to respond to this or are you done....
The way the photovoltaic process works is that a photon is absorbed by an electron in a semiconductor. If the photon has sufficient energy then the electron will jump across the band gap of the semiconductor and become a free electron that can be used in an electrical current.
The electrons in a photovoltaic cell get their energy from photons not entropy.
How do you think gravity would drives the photovoltaic effect?
Also this explanation is different from your original statements. It seems you are no longer saying that a star forms from energy; instead you are saying that the existing mass around a star increases in mass from the photons near the black hole, leading to star formation.
This presents some problems. The rest mass of an electron is $$9.109 x 10^{-31}$$ kg. When a photon is absorbed by the electron its rest mass does not change. The electron has an increase in velocity that corresponds to an increase in its relativistic mass. So the more photons it absorbs the faster the velocity of the electron making it less likely to coalesce into a star. Another issue is that stars are not composed of a relatively few heavy electrons and protons.
Could you go into more detail about the formation/increase of mass around a black hole?
Photovoltaic effect causes electrons (like all fermions) to gain mass by emparting energy from entropy into electrons. The mechanism is gravity.
