a solar panel uses uv rays for energy. so yes it does use light. afterall the sun is the ultimate source of energy!
Heat is thermal energy. Another name for no thermal energy is cold. So I'm pretty sure that it takes the heat to harvest electicity. (Thermal energy is the movement of molecules. if they are moving fast its warm or they are moving slow its cold.)

Which object converts light to electricity?
A solar panel converts light into electricity.
What happens if solar panel has no light?
It wouldn't produce any electricity.
Does a solar panel produce more electricity then it takes to make the panel?
Probably because a solar panel can produce electricity for many years.
How do solar panel produce electricity?
The solar panels produce electricity by the sunlight.
Can a solar panel run on lamp light?
Well, yes, but the light is so weak that you won't generate much electricity.
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). When sunlight fall on a solar panel (pv cells) the electrons get excited and start flowing and the electron flow is nothing but electricity. Thus a solar panel produces electricity.
Do solar electricity pannels require heator only light?
Actually to be exact Sunlight. The sun will shine on the panel and then it will conduct electricity. That will save you money and it will help the enviorment. Please if you can switch to solar panels
How does the sun make electricity?
The sun light hits a solar panel which in turn works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. Solar panels actually comprise many, smaller units called photovoltaic cells.
What are photovoltaic cells made from?
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. The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel. When the sun stops shining on the solar panel, its electrons stop moving and electricity stops flowing. electricity in the batteries can be used at night, or when the sun is behind the clouds. · If you want to be able to use electricity at night you can attach batteries. · Electricity from a solar panel flows into attached batteries while the sun shines, and then the stored. ·
What do solar panels provide?
A solar panel provides electricity for heating a building
What energy is produced from sunlight and solar panel?
Electricity
How do you create electricity from the sun?
You use the solar panel.
