Silicon solar panels: These can become a source of free electricity
Importance of solar energy
Use of solar energy is a trend that is quickly gaining popularity in India as it is abundantly available in most parts of the country and more importantly it is a renewable source of energy, never to be extinguished. Although solar energy is easily available, harnessing that energy into useful purposes is a tricky affair. However, past research has shown that it can be harnessed into electric energy and current research is aimed at converting all the energy received into useful electric energy.
What are photovoltaic cells?
Conversion of solar energy into electric energy is accomplished by the principle of photovoltaic (PV) effect. PV effect is the process of converting the sun’s energy into electric energy through PV cells made up of
