FAQ: How Do Solar Cells Work?
Solar or photovoltaic cells are made of silicon which is the
most common element in the Earth's crust. In simple terms,
electricity is created when sunlight strikes the surface of
the cell, some of which is absorbed into the silicon. This
bumps electrons loose and causing energy to flow. This
action or photovoltaic process produces DC (Direct Current)
electricity which is then converted (By an Inverter) to AC
(Alternating current) electricity which is the standard
voltage used to power households and appliances in the USA..
