That is where the energy comes from. Solar panels absorb the energy from photons of sunlight and convert it to heat or electricity. The Sun is the only source powerful enough and continuous enough to provide the radiant energy. The efficiency of a panel is fairly low, as it only captures a fraction of the total energy of the solar radiation. However, this is not a cost issue, since the sunlight is essentially free energy.

What are the panels the space probes wear called?

The panels on a space probe are called solar panels. Solar panels are panels that turn light into energy so astronauts and cosmonauts do not need to change the batteries. Not only do space probes have solar panels, some cars, houses, and all sorts of electronics can use solar panel. Solar panels do not pollute. This is why they use solar panels.


How can you use solar panels as a renewable recource?

Solar panels are not a renewable resource, unless you recycle them. Solar panels make electrical power from solar energy, but it in no way replenishes the Sun to make more solar energy in the future. However, the Sun does rise every day, and when it's not cloudy the electrical energy produced by the panels is reinstated.


How do people use solar panels?
