How Do Solar Panels Work ?


Tutorial # 2
Two layers of semi-conducting material (N-type & P-Type) are combined to create this effect. One layer has to have a depleted number of electrons. When exposed to sunlight, the layers of material absorb the photons. This excites the electrons, causing some of them to ‘jump’ from one layer to the other, generating an electrical charge.




Solar cells generate most of their electricity from direct sunlight. However, they also generate
electricity on cloudy days and some systems can even generate very small amounts of electricity on bright moonlit nights.
Individual solar cells typically only generate tiny amounts of electrical energy. To make useful amounts of electricity, these cells are connected together to make a solar module, otherwise known as a solar panel or, to be more precise, a photovoltaic module.

  1. Solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic systems that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications.
