There are more than one type of solar panel, but nearly all work by the same fundamental physics, and the very large majority of commercially available panels are made from silicon (Si). I will discuss this type here.
Electricity is just that -- electrons having a net flow in a single direction along a wire.

∙ 10y agoElectricity from solar power can be produced by focusing the sun's light with mirrors or lenses to create a hot spot on a surface. The heat is used to boil water and create steam which turns a turbine or other system as are found in normal steam power plants.

∙ 9y agothey convert solar energy ( light from the sun) into electricity to use in houses or buisnesses.
to install, it costs money, but the energy is free from nature! :)
No. Solar panels are human made though it does generate electricity automatically.
Solar panels generate electricity. You can use this yourself, or sell it to the electricity company. Either way you can reduce your electricity bills.
are affected by cloud coverage and day length"
About how can we generate electricity from solar panels
You can put solar panels on your roof to generate electricity from the sun. This can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.
Yes, they can be found in solar panels which obsord the sun for energy which can create both electricity and heat.
YES. because it converts the solar energy into electrical energy
Solar energy does not use a turbine to generate electricity. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity through photovoltaic cells, without the need for a turbine.
We use solar panels to harness the energy of the sun and generate electricity for our home.
Solar panels would not generate electricity if there is no sunlight available. They rely on sunlight to produce electricity through the photovoltaic effect. In the absence of sunlight, the panels would not be able to convert solar energy into electrical energy.
Solar panels require sunlight to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. At night, there is no sunlight available to provide energy to the solar panels, so they cannot generate electricity. Solar panels are designed to work during the day when the sun is shining.
Solar panels will still generate some electricity on a cloudy day, although the output will be lower compared to a sunny day. The efficiency of the solar panels will decrease as there is less sunlight available for conversion to electricity.
