Solar powered boards are contained a few individual sunlight based cells which are themselves made out of layers of silicon, phosphorous (which gives the negative charge), and boron (which gives the positive charge). Sun powered boards ingest the photons and in doing so start an electric flow.. For more details please visit SunEdison infrastructure Limited

Which 2 elements are used to make solar cell panel?
copper and mercury
What is solar collector that is capable of producing voltage when exposed to radiant energy(sunlight)?
A solar, or PV, or photovoltaic cell. Many PV cells are put together forming a solar panel.
What does price per WP mean in solar power?
When used in the context of solar power, "Wp" means watt-peak. This refers to the nominal power of a solar cell or a solar panel. Watt-peak, kilowatt-peak, and megawatt-peak are often used interchangeably. Price per Wp refers to the amount of power that a solar cell or panel generates under real-life conditions in relation to its cost
What solar device creates an electric current?
A solar cell converts light energy into electricity. It is basically a giant semiconductor junction laid flat (fabricated) on a panel. One lays the panel to face the sunny side. With an inverter, the DC can be converted to AC to power household electrical appliances. One can also hook the panel up to a battery and store the energy for later use.
Why ia a silver surface used at the back of the solar panel?
The silver surface is there to reflect the heat back on to the solar panel. thats if any heat has gone through the solar panel
What is a solar cell?
A solar cell is an electronic device that converts sunlight into electricity. An array of them is called a solar panel.
How does solar cell get its energy?
when the sun hits the solar panel it creates a current
What is a device that converts solar energy into electricity?
a device called a photovoltalic panal
What is a solar cell phone charger?
A solar cell phone charger is a electrical device, that uses a solar panel to charge a phone battery.
What can turn solar energy directly into electrical energy?
a photovoltaic cell or solar panel
What is a cell school analogy for a chloroplast?
You can compare the chloroplast in a plant cell to a solar panel. Much like a solar panel, the chloroplast receives energy from the sun and converts it into sugar and the green coloring to a plant. A solar panel uses the sun's energy to convert it into energy to light a house etc.
Which 2 elements are used to make solar cell panel?
copper and mercury
Who invented solar pannels?
The solar panel was invented by a man named Russel Ohl. He invented the solar cell in 1941. Solar panels are used to generate electricity and power.
What are the most efficient solar panels?
The most powerful solar panel is the Sunpower Turnkey Solar Solution. If you are thinking of getting this, think again. This effiecient Solar Panel is only built for busieness and Government buildings.
When was solar panel invented?
Solar panel is a group of solar cells connected together. A solar cell is a device that is able to convert energy contained in light into electrical energy through photovoltaic process. For data on the invention of solar panel, see: http://www.blurtit.com/q364209.html To make your own solar panels for about $100 each, see: http://www.elatebiz.com/pages/solor.html
Why current will vary in a solar cell?
The current will of course vary with the intensity of the imparted light and with the temperature of the panel.
Why cant you produce electricity from em waves?
Actually you can. A photovoltaic cell (a.k.a. solar panel) does precisely that.
