Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, which are made of layers of silicon and other materials.
When sunlight hits the photovoltaic cells, it excites the electrons in the silicon atoms, causing them to become mobile.
The mobile electrons are then directed by the internal structure of the photovoltaic cell, causing them to flow in a particular direction.
This flow of electrons creates an electric current, which can be used to power electrical devices.
The electric current is then sent to an inverter, which converts the DC current generated by the solar panels into AC current
The AC current is then sent to a breaker box, which distributes the electricity throughout the home.
The amount of electricity generated by the solar panels depends on the amount of sunlight that hits them.
In order to maximize the amount of electricity generated, solar panels are often installed in a location that receives
Solar panels are often connected to the electrical grid, so that any excess electricity generated can be sent back to the grid and used by other homes.
Finally, solar panels are a renewable source of energy, which means that they do not produce harmful emissions
