Everybody is feeling the pinch of the increased Oil and Gas prices. So many people are becoming curious about solar energy. Here is a quick synopsis of how solar energy works.
Sunlight is made up of tiny packets of energy, called photons. Every minute, enough of this energy reaches the earth to meet the world's energy demand for a year.
Photovoltaic panels consist of many solar cells. These are made of materials like silicon, one of the most common elements on earth.
Each one is designed with a positive and a negative layer. This creates an electric field just like in a battery. As photons are absorbed in the cell, their energy causes electrons to become free. The electrons move toward the bottom of the cell and exit throguh the connecting wire.
This flow of electrons is what we call electricity. -The US Department of Energy.
