AMAZING AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND ITS USES
The sun is the source of energy in which our part of the
universe is running. The star sends an almost infinite amount of energy to the
earth every year. Although solar panels are a relatively modern phenomenon, it
has long been known that it can generate electricity from sunlight. In 1839,
the French physicist Antoine-Cesar Becquerel discovered the basic principles of
the photovoltaic effect. The principle behind the now so popular solar energy
dates back to the first half of the 19th century.
COMPLETE GUIDES
Most systems that convert sunlight to electricity depend on
semiconductor silicon or a thin film. Solar energy has the ability to release
electrons in silicon. This development creates tension in the solar cell. By
connecting several solar cells in a solar panel, current flows and electrical
voltage is generated.
