Abstract: An apparatus for converting ultraviolet (UV) light into electricity is disclosed. It includes a UV-light-into-electricity conversion device and an electricity storage. The welding operation zone has a welding apparatus for welding a workpiece. This welding apparatus generates strong UV light during a welding operation. The UV-light-into-electricity conversion device can absorb the UV light and then convert into electricity. Finally, the electricity storage stores the electricity generated by the UV-light-into-electricity conversion device. Hence, it can convert the harmful UV light into useable electricity. The entire structure of this invention is simple. In addition, it is suitable for a fixed operation zone or a movable operation zone during a welding operation.
