How Do Solar Panels Work

Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight through semiconductor materials, like silicon. When sunlight hits these panels, it energizes electrons, creating an electric voltage. This flow of electrons generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) electricity through an inverter.

  1. HOW DO SOLAR PANELS WORK? Solar panels work on a simple principle: the photovoltaic effect. Here's a breakdown of the process:

  2. ABSORPTION OF SUNLIGHT solar panels are composed of many solar cells made of semiconductor materials, usually silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, they absorb photons.

  3. GENERATION OF ELECTRONS • The absorbed photons energize the electrons in the semiconductor material, causing them to become "excited" and creating an electric voltage.

  4. DIRECT CURRENT GENERATION • The excited electrons flow through the material in a specific direction, creating a direct current of electricity.

  5. INVERTER CONVERSION Since most of our appliances and grid systems use alternating current (AC), an inverter is used to convert the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC.

  6. UTILIZATION The converted AC electricity can now be used to power homes and businesses, or be fed into the grid for others to use.
