4 FAQs about Solar photovoltaic panels are dazzling

What is the photovoltaic effect?

The photovoltaic effect is the fundamental process that makes solar panels possible. Discovered in 1839 by French physicist Edmond Becquerel when he was just 19 years old, this phenomenon occurs when certain materials generate electrical current upon exposure to light. Think of solar panels as reverse LEDs.

What makes a solar panel unique?

Modern solar panels are marvels of engineering, consisting of multiple layers designed to maximize light absorption and electrical generation while withstanding decades of outdoor exposure. The heart of every solar panel is the photovoltaic cell, typically made from crystalline silicon.
