System solar panel power

How do solar panels work? Solar power explained

In a nutshell, solar panels generate electricity when photons (those particles of sunlight we discussed before) hit solar cells. The process is called the photovoltaic effect.

How Do Solar Panels Work? Photovoltaic Guide 2025 | SolarTech

There are two primary ways to harness solar energy: photovoltaic (PV) systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity, and solar thermal systems that capture heat energy.
