About Solar Panels
What is a Solar Panel ? The solar panel is a plate of silicon cells, silicon is a semiconductor material which is having a unique property of forming junction, it is having a kind of gap between two electronically charged areas in the same material. It produces energy when enough energy of light strikes on this material (more on this later). These silicon cells are placed over the acrylic sheet with connecting wires soldered over it. These cells are protected by thick tempered glass over them. The thickness of this tempered glass & acrylic sheet provides more strength to the panel. When sunlight strikes these panels, silicon cells starts creating a potential difference(voltage) over its top layer & bottom layer. Now, this potential difference can be used to run your appliances or charge your battery bank. Types of solar panels available in the market:- 1. Polycrystalline Solar Panels :- These are the cheaper ones, 'poly' means many so it refers that multiple silicon cr...
