What are solar panels made out of?

Silicon! They are made of many individual solar cells, which are typically silicon or gallium arsenide. Solar panels for heating water (instead of generating electricity) are constructed with black colored copper or plastic pipe through which water is pumped.


Why are the solar panels usually painted black?

If they are PV panels or heat pipe panels, they are not painted at all, paint would stop them working. Only a simple hot water radiator panel would be painted black and you would do this because the colour black absorbs all solar radiation, other colours reflect some of the suns energy.


Copper pipe used in solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of coil give reason-?

The copper pipe in the solar water is wrapped in the shape of a coil to give it maximum surface area.


Why do you use wire in a circuit?

Why do you use a pipe in a water supply network ? wire is the carrier of the current ( AMPERE ) which is necessary to run your electrical device whatever it is. Same as in water supply network , pipe is the carrier of the water


Why is copper pipe used in solar water heater?

Because it is a very good transmitter of heat.


Copper pipe used in solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of coil give reason?

The copper wire used in the solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of the coil to increase its surface area.


Does solar energy need to be processed?

The answer to your question really depends on what you are using the energy for. For example, if you're using solar energy to grow crops then obviously not! If you're trying to harness solar energy for use in, say a home? Then the solar energy will need to be put through a Photo-voltaic cell (Solar panel) and then the electrons that are knocked out of the silicon wafers within the solar panels will travel through wires and then generally into a battery. In some cases the battery is bypassed (ie. a Solar Calculator). One can also have "Passive Solar Collection" which avoids a solar cell at all and is commonly used to heat water at cottages or campsites. Basically a hollow object (pipe usually) is filled with water and painted black. The thermal energy from the sun dissipates into the (generally conductive) object and finally into the water within. Hope this helps!


Why pipe of solar heater and container of solar cookers are painted black?

We see objects as black because they do not reflect any of the wavelengths of light that shine on them. A matte surface is matte precisely because it isn't shiny - in other words, because it doesn't reflect the light very well. Matte black is least prone to reflect energy and best at absorbing it. In the case of hot water panels, it is the solar energy that is absorbed that heats the water so the more efficient the panels are at absorbing it, the better it does at heating up the water.


Why is the pipe inside a solar panel black?

because they did


Hot water pipe or cold water pipe which will rust first?

Hot water pipe rust first as compared to the cold water pipe for the same chemical composition of the water.


Why is there a layer of polystyrene behind the black pipe in a solar panel?

To insulate the pipe if the pipe's outer layer gets cold or decreases in temperature.


Will water flow out of a pipe if the pipe is covered with water?

Yes, as long as the water coming out of the pipe has a greater pressure than the water that is covering the pipe. If it is the other way around, the water covering the pipe will actually flow into the pipe. Think about it. It just makes sense.
