Electrons move in a solar panel because of something called the photoelectric effect. Light, such as from the sun is made up of photons. When a photon strikes a metal, it knocks lose electrons. This effect can vary based on the type of metal. Solar panels are designed to allow electrons to be easily effected.

What causes the planets in the solar system move along their path?
solar
What causes the electrons to become excited and move into the electron transport chain?
In photosynthesis, the electrons from the chlorophyll are excited by the sunlight
What are photovoltaic cells made from?
Solar electric panels are made up of silicon, the same thing that makes up sand. When sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes electrons in the silicon move around. The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel. When the sun stops shining on the solar panel, its electrons stop moving and electricity stops flowing. electricity in the batteries can be used at night, or when the sun is behind the clouds. · If you want to be able to use electricity at night you can attach batteries. · Electricity from a solar panel flows into attached batteries while the sun shines, and then the stored. ·
When an atom absorbs energy that causes one of its electrons to move to a higher energy level the atom is said to be in?
Excited state
What does voltage do to electrons?
It causes them to move. The greater the voltage applied, the greater the current generated (for the same resistive load), and so the more electrons move.
How does solar produce energy?
Solar electric panels are made up of silicon, the same thing that makes up sand.When sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes electrons in the silicon move around. The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel and hey presto! - we have electricity!Solar energy can produce electricity by the photo-voltaic process (Solar Cell) and can be produce via a heat engine process (Solar Thermal).
What causes the planets in the solar system move along their path?
solar
Positive ions and electrons can flow in a a solution but only electrons can flow in wires. What causes the electrons to move?
All the above Energy. Energy causes ever thing to move.
Describe how a battery causes electrons to move in a circuit?
The electrons don't actually move the electricity; the charge moves. The electrons slowly drift in the opposite direction from the charge.
What causes a balloon to have static electricity?
The electrons move from the balloon to your body.
What occurs when light causes electrons to move when it hits some substances?
The electrons absorb the light energy, which excites them.
What causes the electrons to become excited and move into the electron transport chain?
In photosynthesis, the electrons from the chlorophyll are excited by the sunlight
Harnessing the suns energy to produce heat or electricity is?
This is called photo voltaic where electrons move through wires built int the solar panel.
What causes the electrons to move in the electromagnetic induction animation?
Changes in the magnetic field

How do solar calculators work?
By the battery in the caculator It works by a solar cell when photons hit a cell it exites a particle called electrons which allow it to flow through in between layer p which stands for a positive energy and n for negative charge that creates a field of electricity.
How do you make a working model on solar energy?
You need a little solar panel which you can buy from a hobby shop or online. I bought a little mechanical grasshopper with a solar panel on its back. In the sun something eccentric rotates, making the grasshopper vibrate and move across a table.
