It won't run off. The Photo Voltaic create electron motion and the energy is tapped from the electron motion. The electron itself is not consume as energy but is the media energy would store. Picture hydropower, water evaporate to cloud and fall on high ground and the motion of water stream was tapped out to hydropower. Water is not depleted in the process because it is the kinetic and potential energy that water gain from sun in process of evaporation that is use.

Do solar cells run out?

How does soler power work?

With solar cells, photons in light knock electrons off of the metal surface. This flow of electrons is called electricity. There are also solar collectors that utilize the heat from the sun to heat water etc.


Why don't solar cells eventually run down as electrochemical cells do?

In the case of electrochemical cells, the energy is coming from the reactions inside the cell- the chemicals inside have some stored energy, and as the cell is used, that energy is used up and they are converted into different chemicals with less energy, until the cell runs out.Solar cells get their energy from the sun- sunlight has energy, and what the solar cell does is convert that light energy into electrical energy. So it doesn't use any energy of its own (it does lose electrons, but more electrons come in from the circuit so it never runs out). So as long as a solar cell is exposed to light, it won't run down.In the long term, the sunlight will start to degrade the solar cell so it will eventually stop working, but not because it runs out of energy.


How do solar cells work together?

Solar cells convert the sun's energy and emits electrons. After this takes place photons bounce off silicons atoms forcing them in a orderly manner so create a electric current.


How are solar cells used?

A group of cells (normally a number divisible by 36) is grouped together to form a solar panel. These solar panels put out a direct current which, in turn is fed into an inverter that converts this energy into alternating current which can be used to run modern electric devices.


What energy is solar panels?

Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun


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.

What does solar power energy contain?

Solar power is created when light interacts with photovoltaic (light sensitive) cells. More specifically, light energy excites electrons causing them to become free from orbit around their nucleus. The now free electrons begin to flow and we have current...

How can electricity be derived from solar cells?

Solar cells have stored solar energy that is converted into electrical energy.
