How is Solar Energy Converted into Electricity?
The journey of converting solar energy into electricity begins with solar panels, which are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells are typically constructed from semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight hits the PV cells, it excites the electrons within the material, generating an electric current. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: Sunlight Absorption: The […]
How is Solar Energy Obtained?
To obtain solar energy, the first step is installing solar panels, typically on the roof of a home or commercial building. These panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
