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.
Sun tracking in the solar panel is done by a solar tracker (a computerized or timer device) which basically orients a payload towards the sun.
Solar panels require sunlight to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. At night, there is no sunlight available to provide energy to the solar panels, so they cannot generate electricity. Solar panels are designed to work during the day when the sun is shining.
A metal dish is used as the framework of a solar panel because the sun heats the metal, heating the water inside
Depending on what type of solar panels they are. For example, a solar panel will work anywhere if it has charged energy from the sun. However, some solar panels are immobile, or cannot be moved. If you charge something in the sun for five hours, then bring it inside, the solar panel energy will still work but you will not be able to recharge it until the ultraviolet waves can again reach the device.
A solar panel produces electrical power when the Sun's light falls on it. The typical solar panel used in the UK of 1.2 square metres produces 220 Watts when the Sun shines directly on to it at right angles from a clear sky. If the Sun is not shining directly on it, the power is reduced by the cosine of the angle. It is true that solar panels also produce energy on a cloudy day, a fact that is always quoted by the salesmen. But even in light cloud, a solar panel produced hardly energy at all, maybe only 5% of the rated amount or less.

Solar systems get their energy from the sun. Solar energy is captured by a solar panel, or collector. This panel converts solar energy to electrical energy.
A solar panel utilizes solar energy, which is energy from the sun that is converted into electricity.

Well if there solar Christmas lights then there probably dependent on the suns energy so's they can work. Depending on what place in the world your living, if theres sun then they should work but if there isn't then they won't because they need the sun in order to work.
Solar Energy happens when you put a solar energy panel in a sunny position and when the sun shines on it. It should start working to what ever you want it to work on!
when the sun hits the solar panel it creates a current
Solar panels harness energy from the sun--Solar energy!
