3. 1.SOLAR PANEL ARE FLAT COLLECTION OF SOLAR CELL THAT
ARE USED TO CATCH THE SUN ENERGY AND IT IS USED TO
CREATE HEAT AND ELECTRICITY.
2.A device that harvest and convert light to energy
3. Used to supply electricity in commercial and
residential applications
4. • There are two protective layers on the
semiconductor.
•Solar panel are made of two materials
sandwiched together called a semiconductor.
• The top layer is negatively charged while the
bottom is positively charged
5. •When sunlight reaches the solar
panels, the electrons are knocked
loose from the silicon
•These electrons then move up from
the bottom layer of silicon.
•They then crowd the electrons on the
top layer.
•The electrons then provide power to
the electrical system
6.
7. • Pollution-free
• The energy source(Sun) is completely renewable
unlike the usage of fossil fuels for electricity.
• Enables the harnessing of power in remote areas.
• Solar panels can also be used to provide electricity to
places where it might be difficult to construct power
lines.
• Requires very little maintenance
