sunlight and photovoltaic panels (solar cells/panels) also electronic power inverters to change the DC from the panels into AC to send to the power grid.


Why are solar panels not widely used?

My guess is that integrating solar panels into pre-existing energy networks would be difficult and costly. You also have to wonder how many solar panels we would need to replace the electricity we use. I imagine it would take very many solar panels just to keep a corporate building in power. I assume there would also be much protest towards solar panels coming from the electric companies. If we all switched to solar, the electric companies would either go out of of business or be forced to convert.


What materials are needed for making solar panels?

This is an excellent website that will teach you everything you need to know about building solar panels: http://www.mdpub.com/SolarPanel/. Solar Panels are made up of solar cells, that convert sun energy into usable electricity. Normally the cells charge a bank of batteries that will power an inverter, which converts the DC into AC. You can now plug in devices and appliances you wish to power from your solar panels.


Is solar energy widely accepted?

Not as Much as Wind, Because Solar Panels Cost More Than Wind Turbines , If the Two Create The Same Amount Of Energy The Solar Would Have Costed More to produce the Panels.
