How Solar Power Systems Work: From Photons to Electricity
At its core, solar power systems operate through the photovoltaic effect - a quantum phenomenon where sunlight gets converted directly into electrical energy. When photons from sunlight strike specially engineered semiconductor materials (typically silicon layers), they transfer enough energy to knock electrons loose from their atomic bonds. This creates a flow of electrons we harness as electricity. [2020-11-08 23:26]
