Crystalline Silicon Solar Panels Electrical Characteristics

What are Solar Panels Made of?

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are made up of many solar cells. Solar cells are made of silicon, like

semiconductors. They are constructed with a positive layer and a negative layer, which together create an

electric field, just like in a battery.

How Do Solar Panels Generate Electricity?

PV solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity. With DC electricity, electrons flow in one direction

around a circuit. This example shows a battery powering a light bulb. The electrons move from the negative

side of the battery, through the lamp, and return to the positive side of the battery.

With AC (alternating current) electricity, electrons are pushed and pulled, periodically reversing direction,

much like the cylinder of a car’s engine. Generators create AC electricity when a coil of wire is spun next to

a magnet. Many different energy sources can “turn the handle” of this generator, such as fossil fuel,

hydroelectricity, nuclear, wind, or solar.

AC electricity was chosen for the U.S. electrical power grid, primarily because it is less expensive to

transmit over long distances. However, solar panels create DC electricity. How do we get DC electricity into

the AC grid? We use an inverter.

Solar panels have become much cheaper to use, compared to oil, diesel and liquified natural gas in parts of

Asia. Solar energy will soon become the main source of energy. Over the years many innovations have

been made to improve solar panels. Solar panels have been used for space exploration and are being

developed to be able to power cars. Along with this, scientists are developing solar cells in silicone to

increase its convenience.
