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. ·
What type of energy do solar panels produce?
whenever the sun farts, it travels through a tube in space down to every solar panel on earth, and they use the power of the sun's farts to power the houses. On a cloudy day, they use your mom.
In a typical home electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from a ground rod driven into ground to the 1 case of the panel or 2 main breaker switch or 3 l?
In a typical home electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from a ground rod driven into ground to a dedicated lug on the neutral bus.
Can you ship photovoltaic cells?
Yes you can ship PV panels. However it makes sense to buy cells (collected together these make a PV panel), locally. It costs energy to make the panels as well as transport them. They will also be harvesting energy over a 20-30 year lifespan. It makes sense to try and keep the environmental costs as low as possible in producing and transporting them to maximise the amount of energy gained overall. Years ago the bulk of PV panel production occured in Japan, USA and Germany. Whilst this is still largely the case, other countries are starting up production. It is a common myth that it takes more energy to make a panel than it will harvest in its life time. Now it is generally estimated that a panel will pay for itself in energy terms in between 2-4 years Yes you can ship PV panels.

Where are neutral and ground wires usually bonded together?
Only in the main electric panel.
What types of cells make up a solar panel?
photovoltaic cells
What is solar collector that is capable of producing voltage when exposed to radiant energy(sunlight)?
A solar, or PV, or photovoltaic cell. Many PV cells are put together forming a solar panel.
What is a device used to convert solar energy into electricity?
A solar panel, which is comprised of photovoltaic cells arranged in series.
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.
When was solar panel invented?
Solar panel is a group of solar cells connected together. A solar cell is a device that is able to convert energy contained in light into electrical energy through photovoltaic process. For data on the invention of solar panel, see: http://www.blurtit.com/q364209.html To make your own solar panels for about $100 each, see: http://www.elatebiz.com/pages/solor.html
what is the scientific name for the panel on a solar panel?
I think you are referring to the term "photovoltaic" as it is applied to solar panels. Sometimes it is abbreviated as PV panel.
How does a solar panel use light?
Solar panels, photovoltaic cells absorb the photons energy put off by the sun to release electrons this in turn creates electricity ready to be harnessed.
Can a solar panel work if there's no sun?
No Solar panels do not work if the sun is not out the photovoltaic cells that make up a solar panel require sunlight to produce electricity not to say that you cant have a battery that gets charged up to use during the night.
What can turn solar energy directly into electrical energy?
a photovoltaic cell or solar panel
What type of energy is photovoltaic?
Photovoltaic refers to a type of solar cell or panel that produces a voltage directly from sunlight and does not require the use of batteries to transform sunlight into usable power.
Converts the suns energy into electrical energy by releasing electrons from silicon?
That sounds like a solar panel; more specifically, a photovoltaic panel.
What is a device that converts solar energy into electricity?
a device called a photovoltalic panal
