Can solar cells work with infrared radiations?

Yes.


What is the definition of photovoltaic solar cells?

Photovoltaic cells are transducers that convert light to electrical potential (voltage). Solar photovoltaic cells are photovoltaic cells that are specifically designed to work with sunlight.


Do solar cells transform electrical energy into light?

Solar cells transform solar power (sunlight) into electricity. Using electricity light can be made :) Hope it helped :)


What is one disadvantage of solar cells?

The solar cells do not work during cloudy,humid,cold or rainy weather. It can be used only during the summer seasons.


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

Is there any reference how to create own solar battery and what is required for that?

solar cells are rather complex to manufacture. They use a combination of silicone, metal and ceramic. There is loads of information online about how they are made and work. There are three generations of solar cells now. Research into second generation solar cells, how they are made and how they work


What materials solar cells are made of and how they are consteucted?

Solar cells (also known as photovoltaic cells) are made of solar cells. To be more specific, they are made of slices of a semiconductor with a metal layer.


Where are solar cells found and recovered?

I though solar cells were man-made...out of semi-conductors. :)

How do solar power stations work?

Solar power stations work by using a series of solar cells to convert energy from the Sun into electricity. It is then stored in batteries or transferred to the power grid.

Explain some of the limitations of solar energy?

solar energy is available only when the sun is shining. Solar collectors and cells work less efficiently on cloudy days. they don't work at all at night. and during winter, when days are short, the collectors and cells generate less energy.


Are milliamp a useful measure to see at which angle your solar cells work best?

yes!
