They are big and very expensive, but they are brillant
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.
You save about 50-60% of energy when you use solar panels.
solar energy is a renewable resource
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.
are affected by cloud coverage and day length"
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.
Using solar panels.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, we are actually leading the world in solar technology.
