How does PV solar work?
The solar panels are made up of many interconnect solar cells, which are solid state devices similar to a large transistor. These cells are made so that when a photon of light strikes a molecule, an electron is knocked free. The cell has an electrical field that causes the electron to migrate to one side of the cell, and into the interconnection network. The accumulated effect of millions of these interactions is to generate electricity. These panels can then be connected together to provide the desired level of power.
