How Do Solar Panels Convert Sunlight Into Electricity?
How do solar panels work? Solar technology is very intriguing once you know how solar panels can transfer sunlight into electricity. If you take a solar panel apart piece by piece you will be equipped to distinguish each of the parts that we are going to talk about in this article. Possibly one day you will have to use what you learned to make your own personal solar panel. In a nutshell, a solar cell is built up of several photo-voltaic cells. Each photo-voltaic cell is separated into two tiers. The two layers of the cell are generally known as P and N. The P layer is made to allow energy to flow to the N layer but energy from the N layer can't flow to the P layer. There is a brief gap between the two layers which stops energy from flowing in the reverse direction (from N to P). The large majority of current day solar panels are made from silicon which has been chemically modified to absorb electricity far more successfully. Each photo-voltaic cell is made up o...
