A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar panel's surface, it excites the electrons in the panel's semiconductor material, creating an electric current. This current is then captured and converted into usable electricity for powering various devices or stored in batteries for later use.
A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The panel contains silicon-based solar cells that absorb photons from sunlight. These photons transfer their energy to electrons in the silicon atoms, causing them to become excited and break free. The electric field within the solar cell then directs these electrons to flow in a specific direction, creating a current. This current is then harnessed and used as electricity.
