Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cell, it excites the electrons in the cell's semiconductor material, causing them to flow as an electric current. This flow of electrons is then captured and harnessed as usable electricity.
Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cell, the photons from the sunlight energize the electrons in the cell's semiconductor material, causing them to break free from their atoms. This creates an electric current, which can then be harnessed and used as electricity.
Solar cells convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. The cells are made of semiconductor materials, usually silicon, that absorb photons from the sunlight. These absorbed photons excite the electrons in the material, allowing them to break free from their atomic bonds. The freed electrons then flow through the cell's material, creating an electric current. This current can be harnessed and used as electricity to power various devices and systems.
