What Is Solar Panels?
Solar panels , also known as solar panels or photovoltaic panels, are a device that uses the photoelectric effect to directly convert solar light energy into electricity. It consists of a number of solar cells in series or parallel, with the function of receiving solar radiation and converting it into direct current. This conversion process requires no mechanical parts or fuel and is a clean, quiet and sustainable way to obtain energy. The following to introduce the composition and characteristics of solar panels: (1) What are the components of solar panels The core component of a solar panel is a photovoltaic cell, which relies on semiconductor materials, usually silicon-based materials such as monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon or amorphous silicon. When sunlight hits a photovoltaic cell, photons interact with atoms in the semiconductor material to excite electrons. These electrons then form an electric current inside the semiconductor, enabling the conversion of light energy into ...
