Photovoltaic Panels - Harvest The Sun
There is a lot of energy in sunlight and that energy can be converted to electricity with photovoltaic panels. These panels are made up of several photovoltaic cells which are constructed of treated silicon which creates an electrical charge when exposed to sunshine.
Each photovoltaic cell produces just a small amount of electricity, so they are wired together into panels to provide enough current for common household appliances.
Photovoltaic cells come in three basic varieties. Monocrystalline are the most efficient but also the most expensive. They consist of a single crystal cut from an ingot of silicon.
Polycrystalline are the most common and slightly less efficient than monocrystalline. The silicon they are made from have several small crys...
