A solar panel, also known as a photovoltaic (PV) panel, is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. It does this using the photovoltaic effect, where sunlight knocks electrons loose from atoms, creating an electrical current.
These panels are made up of individual solar cells, often containing silicon, which are then connected and packaged to form the larger panel.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
-
-
Photovoltaic Effect:Solar panels utilize the photovoltaic effect, where light energy (photons) from the sun is absorbed by semiconductor materials (like silicon) within the solar cells, causing electrons to be released and creating an electrical current.
-
-
Solar Cells:These panels are composed of numerous individual solar cells, each containing layers of silicon, boron, and phosphorus.
-
Electricity Generation:When sunlight strikes the solar cells, it generates a flow of electrons, producing direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity can then be converted to alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in most homes, by an inverter.
-
Components:A typical solar panel includes solar cells, a transparent film to protect the cells, high-strength tempered glass, a moisture-resistant back sheet, and a metallic frame for support and drainage.
-
Applications:Solar panels are used to generate electricity for various applications, including powering homes, businesses, and even large-scale power plants.
