What Are Solar Panels Made Of

Timothy Said:

What is a solar panel made of?

We Answered:

The solar panels consist of photovoltaic cells that utilize the photoelectric effect to change sunlight into energy. The photovoltaic cell, or solar cell, is made of a semiconductor, which absorbs some of the energy when a photon from the light hits it. The photon knocks an electron loose in the semiconductor and allows it to flow freely. The free flowing electrons are directed by some electric field, creating a current.
