A solar silicon wafer converts sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the silicon wafer, it excites the electrons within the silicon atoms, causing them to break free and create an electric current. This current can then be harnessed and used as electricity.
A solar silicon wafer converts sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the silicon wafer, it excites electrons in the material, causing them to flow and create an electric current. This is made possible by the properties of the silicon, which acts as a semiconductor and allows the conversion of light energy into electrical energy.
A solar silicon wafer converts sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the surface of the wafer, it creates an electric field that allows the electrons in the silicon atoms to move freely. These energized electrons are then captured by metal conductors on the wafer, creating a flow of electric current. This generated electrical energy can be used to power various devices and systems.
