How Do We Make Solar Panel

How do solar panels work to generate electricity.

How do we make solar panel.

In this video project i am making small solar panel that i will use in my next big project hackbox. Solar panels actually comprise many smaller units called photovoltaic cells. The term solar panel is used colloquially for a photo voltaic pv module. Justin gee was a senior automation engineer at solarcity and has extensive experience in high tech manufacturing automation data analysis and process modeling.

So i saved a large portion by building my own solar system since a commercial solar panel would have cost 400 on up for just the solar panel itself. With the effort you put into making a homemade solar panel you can help prevent environmental pollution by reducing fossil fuel usage. Solar energy is a renewable source of energy that not only benefits you but the environment as well. A standard solar panel also known as a solar module consists of a layer of silicon cells a metal frame a glass casing and various wiring to allow current to flow from the silicon cells silicon atomic 14 on the periodic table is a nonmetal with conductive properties that allow it to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity.

A pv module is an assembly of photo voltaic cells mounted in a framework for installation. For making this solar panel you will need 10 solar cells. Photovoltaic simply means they convert sunlight into electricity many cells linked together make up a solar panel. On the energysage blog we break down why now is the time to go solar even though solar panel efficiency will continue to increase in the months and years ahead.
