How does solar produce energy?

Solar electric panels are made up of silicon, the same thing that makes up sand.When sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes electrons in the silicon move around.

How does a solar panel produce DC current?

(Another contributor wrote:)Light has its own energy and when it is conducted by a material the energy turns into electrons which are collected and made into direct current electricity (DC).
