Solar Cell

A photovoltaic cell, PV cell, solar cell, or solar cell is a component that produces electricity when exposed to light. The photovoltaic cell is made of semiconductor materials that absorb the rays emitted by the sun and generate an electric current. A solar panel is formed by bringing together more...

Solar panels capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. There are two types of solar panels as monocrystalline (mono) and polycrystalline (poly) panels. Both types of panels generate electrical energy, but there are some important differences between the two that should be noted.
