What else can I help you with?
What makes electricity using energy from the sun?
Electricity can be generated using energy from the sun through photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. These panels contain solar cells that convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cells, it generates an electric current, which can then be used to power electrical devices.
What energy transformation happens when using solar panels?
When using solar panels, the energy transformation that occurs is the conversion of sunlight (solar energy) into electricity (electrical energy) through the photovoltaic effect within the solar cells of the panel. This process involves capturing the photons from sunlight and exciting electrons to generate a flow of electric current.
How much energy saving do you get with using solar panels?
You save about 50-60% of energy when you use solar panels.
Which is a divantage of using solar panels?
solar energy is a renewable resource
What technology is involved in gathering or using solar power?
Solar panels
Do solar panels work?
Yes, solar panels do work but it depends what you are using them for. A lot of solar panels are for toys etc and they would be small. But there are solar panels suited, being larger, for industry or residential.
The major disadvantage of using solar panels to generate electricity is that solar panels?
are affected by cloud coverage and day length"
Where can people learn about solar panels on sale?
A good website to learn about solar panels that are on sale would be www.ecodirect.com. They list a bunch of solar panels for sale and also give information about the benefits of using solar power.
How is radiant energy harnessed?
Using solar panels.
Are solar panels for the home expensive or will it save you money?
Initially, solar panels are expensive. However, the savings incurred from using solar power will make up for the high cost, five to ten thousand dollars, of the solar panels.
What energy do you get from the solar system?
That depends on what you are using to capture energy, if you are using solar panels to get it, then you are converting solar energy into electrical energy.
How do solar panel produce electricity?
Solar panels produce electricity through the photovoltaic effect, where sunlight is converted into electricity using semiconductor materials like silicon. When sunlight hits the solar panels, the photons in the light knock electrons loose from their atoms, creating an electric current. This current is then collected and converted into usable electricity for powering homes or buildings.
