A PV panel is a Photovoltaic conversion tool used for converting the sun's rays into usable electricity via an excitement of Protons and Electrons in a solar cell. They are typically 3ftx6ft in size.

  • a solar panel is a energy converter
  • A solar panel converts the suns rays into electricity.
  • Solar panels area group of 36 solar cells arranged on a board to produce a level of usable power. Each cell produces just under 1 vdc. Ganging these up into a set of 36 allows the system to produce around 12 to 15 vdc. This allows the charging of a car battery.
  • They do allow for power in very remote applications and are great for campers and areas were power is not always available. They are much "greener" then portable generators.
  • a solar panel is a thing that you can put on top of a house or a lamp post that collects sunlight and charges up a battery which can power tvs, friges, freezers and more
  • Solar panels are a batch of multiple silicon material put together in order to store photons and covert them into photovoltaic cells.

What does PV stand for in solar power?

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission, or ejection, of electrons from the surface of a metal in response to light. It is the basic physical process in which a solar electric or photovoltaic (PV) cell converts sunlight to electricity. Sunlight is made up of photons, or particles of solar energy.

Does solar panels cool your house?

No. Solar panels (photovoltaic, PV) produce electricity from the sun. This electricity can be used to cool your house - or heat your house.


What is required to acquire solar energy?

Solar energy would be a source, so you would therefore need a receiver. Your body can "acquire" solar energy. It warms your skin by absorbing UV radiation. If you are talking about converting solar energy to electricity, then you would need a photovoltaic panel, or PV. They are most commonly used in arrays, so you can try looking up PV Arrays for more information.
