Do broken solar cells work?

Yes you can use broken solar cells. It will require work on your side, but it is do able.There are many websites available for you to read that explain how to combine multiple broken cells into one large working cell...http://www.otherpower.com/otherpower_solar_repair.htmlYes you can make solar panels from broken solar cells,with broken solar cells, they are the most commonly used for beginners, simply because they are reasonably cheaper than new or "whole" solar cells. Make sure when buying your cells they have present on each cell both soldering tabs. This is necessary to make your soldering connections. Remember, on most solar cells whole or broken, the top or the front of the cell is negative and the bottom or the back of the cell is positive read the rest on my FREE DIY SOLAR PANELE-Book at https://sites.google.com/site/earthforsolar/homefor solar cells www.solarcells101.com


How are chief cells activated?

Gastric chief cells (as opposed to the chief cells present in the parathyroid gland) are the zymogen cells in the stomach that release pepsinogen (a precursor (zymogen) of pepsin). Without stimulation chief cells normally secrete pepsinogen at about 20% of the maximum ability. ACh (released by nerves) is the most important pathway for gastric chief cell activation. ACh also stimulates parietal cells, which secrete HCl (stomach acid). The fall in pH causes a reflex which further stimulates chief cells. Alternatively, acid in the duodenum (the first portion of the small intestine), stimulates release of secretin from S cells of the small and large intestine. Secretin also activates gastric chief cells.


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 are some comparisons between plant cells and solar cells?

They are totally different! A plant cell is something that is a constituent part of most plants, whereas a solar cell is something used to convert solar energy into electricity. I.e the first is a living thing whereas the latter is not.


Does solar energy turn into electrical energy?

Yes, solar energy can be converted to electrical energy. This is most commonly done through the use of photovoltaic cells.


What type of cell is the most commonly used to convert solar energy into electricity?

The cells used to convert solar energy into electricity are called photovoltaics. Solar photovoltaics are now the third most important renewable energy source in the world.
