Can I use aluminum sheets to make solar panels?

While aluminum sheets can be used in the construction of solar panels, they are not the primary material for making the solar cells themselves. Aluminum is typically used for the frame or backsheet to provide structural support and protection. The actual solar cells are made from materials like silicon, which is capable of converting sunlight into electricity. So, while aluminum plays a role in the assembly of solar panels, it is not used to create the photovoltaic cells that generate power.
