Everything You should know about Solar Panels

Green energy is rapidly gaining popularity, and solar is one of the most environmentally responsible solutions for households. A solar panel is a frame-encased collection of electrically linked solar cells that convert sunlight into energy. Switching to solar energy offers numerous benefits, including the ability to save money while helping the environment, but it may have certain restrictions due to the location of your home and weather conditions.

How Solar Panel works?

Photovoltaic cells are used to make solar panels. When the sun shines directly on the PV cells, it generates solar energy, which is absorbed by them. The sun’s energy generates electric charges that move in accordance with the electrical field in the cell, guiding the flow of electrical energy. Parts of the solar panel also convert direct current energy to alternating current, allowing it to be used in dwellings.
