Solar Power Panels

How Solar Power Panels Work?

 

Solar energy is created using the energy which has been generated by the sun. A solar power panel is able to function using the solar energy which is derived from the sun. A large number of solar cells will be found in every solar power panel. The energy from the sun will be absorbed by these solar cells. This solar energy derived from the sun will be converted into electricity with the help of a solar power panel. The photovoltaic effect will help in converting the solar energy into electrical energy in a solar power panel.
The solar power panel should be kept in a clean place where it gets complete and direct exposure to the sun. The cost of procuring a solar power panel is not very high and it also does not accrue very high costs in terms of maintenance. The charges incurred will be the starting charges as well as the installation charges. A large number of homes have started installing a solar power panel in them in order to perform all the functions which usually require electrical energy. All the electrical appliances in the house can be made to function normally using the electricity which has been generated by the solar power panel. The electricity bills can be reduced to a vast extent once a solar power panel has been installed inside the house.
The roof is the usual place where the solar power panel will be installed in a house so that it gets the required amount of exposure to the sun. The photovoltaic panels on the solar power panel will convert the solar energy into electrical energy. The electricity which is generated through these panels is mostly DC (direct current) which will be converted into AC (alternating current) with the help of an inverter. This inverter will usually be made available along with the solar power panel. The grid-tie system will also make use of solar energy in order to provide electricity for homes. Silicon is one of the main materials which are usually used for making a solar power panel.

Every solar power panel contains many different silicon cells or solar cells. Photons will strike the surface of these solar cells and then generate an electrical current. One such solar cell can generate 0.5 volts of electricity. A 12 volts solar panel will contain 36 solar cells which will help in generating 17 volts of electricity. A 24 volt solar power panel will contains 72 solar cells and it can generate 24 volts of electricity.
The voltage is likely to reduce when the solar power panel is being charged. Every house will require many different solar power panels which will help in generating the required amount of electricity for operating all the appliances in the house. The main advantage of making use of high voltage output is that it will require small wires to transfer the electricity from the solar panel to the batteries. The main advantage of these solar panels is that they will reduce the cost of electricity which is needed to perform all the daily functions.
