Are solar cells mainly used in large areas like roof panels?
Yes and No, they may also be used in watches, calculators etc. If you want to generate alot of current, you need large areas but if the requirement is modest a small area will do.
What is the difference between photovoltaic cells and solar heating panels?
One makes electricity while the other just heats
What are solar panels made out of?
Silicon! They are made of many individual solar cells, which are typically silicon or gallium arsenide. Solar panels for heating water (instead of generating electricity) are constructed with black colored copper or plastic pipe through which water is pumped.
Are photo cells found in solar panels?
yes
What is the basics of solar energy?
The basics of solar energy is that the sun's radiation reaching the earth mainly consists of visible light and infra-red waves. The infra-red provides direct heating to the earth and atmosphere, and this radiation can also be captured and used to heat water for domestic and industrial purposes. The visible radiation, ie light, can be used in solar photo-voltaic cells or panels to produce electricity.
What cells have cell junctions?
Mainly animal cells
Do solar energy panels have positive and negative charges?
Yes, when the sun hits the cells inside the panels they have a positive and negative charge
How can you make solar cells for electricity from solar cells for heating?
Solar cells for electricity and solar cells for heating are two very different things, so it doesn't make much sense to convert one into the other.
What is needed to run a power stations?
sunlight and photovoltaic panels (solar cells/panels) also electronic power inverters to change the DC from the panels into AC to send to the power grid.

What product is used to create solar power?
The answer is solar panels. Solar panels are the main products used to generate solar power. These panels are comprised of solar cells, which use the photovoltaic effect to turn sunlight into electricity. Silicon is the most common type of cell used in solar panels. An electric field is created when sunlight strikes the solar cells, which produces an electrical current.
What makes electricity using energy from the sun?
Solar Panels or Solar Cells
