QUICK!! I need this answering within the next half an hour…?
Sorry about that ^
Anyways…. Please could you give me a brief explination of how solar panels / solar cells work?
Needs to be short enough to fit in a powerpoint document, any pictures or diagrams would be of great help
Thanks!
Solar cells use light (photons) to generate power (voltage). It naturally follows that this process be called the photovoltaic effect.
When solar radiation is absorbed by solar cells, photons from the sunlight enter the cell and bump into electrons and displace them. At this point, special electrical semi-conductors within the solar cell capture these electrons and complete a circuit between the top (negative charge) and bottom (positive charge) of the solar cell.
The process may vary slightly depending on the various types of solar cell, but the basics remain the same as shown in the diagram on the website
a solar panel/module is a group of solar cells. they work the same way.
