2. Before you're able to produce electricity
through solar energy, there needs to be
some form of solar cell or panel that will
be used to absorb the sun's energy.
3. Solar panels are constructed from a
semi-conductive material with the
most common material of choice
being silicon.
5. When photons (contained within the
suns rays) hit a solar cell, the electrons
contained in the solar cell material
absorb this solar energy, which
transforms the electrons into
conduction electrons.
6. If the energy of these photons is great enough
then the electrons are able to become free and
carry an electric charge through a circuit to
the destination
7. Solar panels can be used in a variety of
different ways in order to harness the
suns energy.
8. This is a picture of how solar is changed into energy
10. THE SOLAR POWER GENERATOR GOES LIKE
THIS… THE SUN FOCUSES ON WATER, IT TAKES A
WHILE TILL IT BOILS DOWN AND THEN CREATES
STEAM THEN THE STEAM TURNS THE TURBINE TO
MAKE ENERGY AND TRAVELS THROUGH THE
POWER LINES TO THE HOUSES.
