Solar Panels Introduction to Solar Panels Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic panels, are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of photovoltaic cells, which are made of semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight hits the cells, it creates an electric current that can be used to power homes, businesses, and other buildings. Solar panels are a clean, renewable energy source that can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. They are becoming an increasingly popular choice for electricity generation, particularly in areas with abundant sunshine. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, on the ground, or on special mounting systems, and can be connected to the electric grid or used in off-grid systems. Types of Solar Panels There are several types of solar panels available on the market, each with its own unique characteristics. Some common types of solar panels include: Monocrystalline solar panels: These pane
