How does a solar panel use light?

A solar panel uses light energy from the sun to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This effect occurs when photons from sunlight strike the solar panel's photovoltaic cells, causing the cells to release electrons, which creates an electric current.


How many solar panels to generate 1500kw?

Well it depends on the power efficient of each solar panel and how much light they get. If you got panels that, in normal sunlight put out 100 watts; then for 1,500,000 watts you would need: 15 thousand panels. Now lets say you use two mirrors on each panel; then you would have about three times the light/power in normal light, so 1,500,000 divided by 300: so you would need 5000 panels and 10,000 mirrors.


Where do you put a solar panel on your roof?

Solar panels should be placed on the part of your roof that receives the most sunlight throughout the day. Typically, this is the south-facing side of your roof in the northern hemisphere, and the north-facing side in the southern hemisphere. Placing them in an area without shade or obstruction will optimize their energy production.


Why do you put your solar panel on an angle?

On an angle to what? Presumably you mean the Earth's surface. They should not be at an angle to the Sun (although as the Sun moves during the day you'd need to motorise the solar panel to get it to keep accurately square to the Sun's rays). Anyway, the reason for this to make sure you get as much radiation onto the panel as possible. If you were to tilt the panel so that the rays hit it only obliquely then the heating effect would be reduced.

How do you construct a solar panel?

When you create a solar panel you need to have a bunch of photovoltaic cells, something to put them in, and something to protect them. Normally you can but them in a wooden casing covered with plexi glass. You then need to wire the photovoltaic cells. Then you need to find where you wish to place them and wire them to your house. For a more detailed guide check the link below.


How do you make a solar panelled boat?

If you want to make a small demo boat you can do this: Take a water three water bottles for two of them cut off the bottoms. Tape them to the uncut one ( these will be used as buoys to prevent it from flipping). Take the cap off of the middle bottle. Make a small hole in the top of the bottle (middle bottle). Put a motor in the place where the cap would be put a propeller on the motor, tape around the motor so no water gets in. put the wires from the motor through the hole you made. Attach the solar cell (panel) to the wires. To keep the solar panel up blow up a very small (smaller the your fist). Put the balloon under the the solar panel tape into place. Put into the water on a sunny day or with a special light. And do not forget to kiss my bumbum


How does solar energy happen?

Solar Energy happens when you put a solar energy panel in a sunny position and when the sun shines on it. It should start working to what ever you want it to work on!
