How Does Solar Work? | Department of Energy

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage. Below, you can find resources and information on the basics of solar radiation, photovoltaic and

What are the components of a PV system?

The main components of a solar panel system are: 1. Solar panels. Solar panels are an essential part of a photovoltaic system. They are devices that capture solar radiation and are responsible for transforming solar energy into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. This type of solar panel comprises small elements called solar cells.

How Do Solar Cells Work? Photovoltaic Cells Explained

The photovoltaic effect explained: how solar cells produce electricity. A solar cell works in three generalized steps: Light is absorbed and knocks electrons loose. Loose electrons flow, creating an electrical current. The electrical current is captured and transferred to wires. The photovoltaic effect is a complicated process, but these three
