How solar cells are made from semiconductor?
Assemblies of solar cells are used to make solar modules which are used to capture energy fromsunlight. When multiple modules are assembled together (such as prior to installation on a pole-mounted tracker system), the resulting integrated group of modules all oriented in one plane is referred to in the solar industry as a solar panel. The electrical energy generated from solar modules, referred to as solar power, is an example of solar energy
Solar energy depends on?
Solar energy depends on amount light fall on the panels, size of the panel, and the type of semiconductor used.
What is the difference between solar furnace and solar cells?
solar furnace is real fire. solar cells are little fires.
What do Solar cells convert?
Solar cells convert light directly into electricity
How can you make solar cells for electricity from solar cells for heating?
Solar cells for electricity and solar cells for heating are two very different things, so it doesn't make much sense to convert one into the other.
What materials solar cells are made of and how they are consteucted?
Solar cells (also known as photovoltaic cells) are made of solar cells. To be more specific, they are made of slices of a semiconductor with a metal layer.
Is graphene better than silicon?
It is hard to answer to that question. Both materials have advantages and disadvantages. Silicon is semiconductor so you can turn it on and off and you can make numerous field effect transistors or effective solar cells. However, graphene is zero-band-gap semiconductor which is very conductive. It is not conventional semiconductor. People are still trying to introduce a band gap to graphene to yield true semiconducting graphene. Both materials are legends in the field. Each has advantage. Most likely Silicon will continue to dominate the conventional semiconductor industry and solar cells. However graphene (and graphene derivatives) will be integral part of high frequency devices, diodes, sensors, and some solar cells.
What are component required to convert solar energy to electricity?
Solar cell crystals are "grown" from silicone compounds and other semiconductor materials. The processes and the materials used for the most efficient solar cells are typically not shared with the general public.

Can you produce electricity even without magnetism?
yes we can produce electricity without magnetism by using semiconductor for example photo diode is used in solar cells.
Why are the photovoltaic cells - solar cells - used in arrays in large panels usually round rather than rectangular?
The photovoltaic cell can efficiently be made on one semiconductor wafer, and production wafers are round.
How createde Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation?
The Hemlock Semiconductor Group (Hemlock Semiconductor) is comprised of two joint ventures: Hemlock Semiconductor Corporation and Hemlock Semiconductor, L.L.C. The companies are joint ventures of Dow Corning Corporation, Shin-Etsu Handotai and Mitsubishi Material Corporation. Hemlock Semiconductor is a leading provider of polycrystalline silicon and other silicon-based products used in the manufacturing of semiconductor devices and solar cells and modules. Hemlock Semiconductor began its Michigan operations in 1961 and broke ground at its Tennessee location in 2009.

What crystals are used in solar batteries?
A battery is an energy storage device (among other things). A solar battery is a term that might generally be used to describe an electrical storage battery that uses solar energy to charge it up. In that case, the solar cells, those photovoltaic cells that convert the electromagnetic energy of sunlight into electrical energy, are actually semiconductor crystals. Silicon forms crystals, and if we add things to it, we can give it different properties. Semiconductors are those "solid state" devices made usually of silicon which has some other elements added to it to create the actual semiconductor crystal structure. This crystal structure, whether it is a simple transistor or a hugely complex microprocessor, is manufactured with a set of desired properties in mind. In the case of the solar cell, the semiconductor matrix is made to convert light directly into electricity to charge the battery.
