In order to build solar panels one needs to find materials capable of being semiconductors. It is common to use silicon as the main material for this combined with using metal electrodes to create the required electronic field. Scientists have recently been experimenting with other materials such as plastic or organic polymers as they can be less expensive to produce.

What kind of energy is being produced by sunlight and solar panels?

Sunlight and photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) produce electricity.Sunlight and a solar thermal collector produce heat by capturing solar radiation. The heat is then used to heat water, heat air, cook food, or heat a fluid that drives a turbine which creates electricity.Photoelectrochemical cells or PECs are solar cells that produce electrical energy or hydrogen in a process similar to the electrolysis of water.

How many electric appliances can you use at the one time free with solar panels?

It depends on the capacity of the solar panels. How many solar panel are available, what kind and capacity of each panel, how they are connected together, and how much sun light is available at the time all determine how much power is available from the system.


Why can't solar panel energy take over all of our energy that it needs right now?

solar panels are very costly, and the gov doesent have that kind of money right now.
