What are Solar Panels?
Solar panels are a form of solar power. Solar power is the process of converting sun rays into electricity. Therefor solar panels are devices that convert the sun's rays into electricity. They are a photovoltaic system. They convert light to energy through something called the photovoltaic effect. Photo(light) + voltaic(produces voltage) = photovoltaic (PV) system. Solar panels are the best source of renewable energy.
This great technology is not taken advantage of by enough people. Solar Panels only support less than one percent of the worlds energy needs. It is one of the most talked about alternative energy sources in the world.
Solar models consist of layers of materials like a sandwich.
Did you know that enough energy from the sun in one hour can power the global population for a year.
