Is a solar panel made up of photovoltaic cells .

1 answer

Yes, a solar panel is made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells are designed to convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the cells, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. Multiple PV cells are combined in a solar panel to increase the amount of electricity generated, allowing them to capture and convert more sunlight effectively.
