A solar cell is an electronic device that converts sunlight into electricity. An array of them is called a solar panel.
Solar cell
The answer is solar panels. Solar panels are the main products used to generate solar power. These panels are comprised of solar cells, which use the photovoltaic effect to turn sunlight into electricity. Silicon is the most common type of cell used in solar panels. An electric field is created when sunlight strikes the solar cells, which produces an electrical current.
The function of solar cell is to convert the energy from the sun into electricity. This is commonly referred to as a photovoltaic cell.
Its a radio that uses a solar cell to generate the electricity to run it.
In order to produce electricity, a solar cell needs sunlight and an electrical circuit.
Solar cell?
Anything attached directly to a solar cell will only work when the cell is putting out enough energy - or if the cell is getting enough sunlight. If there is no battery or capacitor attached between the solar cell and the lamp or water pump, for example, they will only work when the solar cell is receiving sunlight.
Solar panels don't generate heat; they convert the energy of sunlight into electrical energy, which I suppose could be used to generate heat.
The larger the area surface of the solar cell the more energy output is made, because of it has more area so that it can intake more sunlight so therefore it can give more of its energy of more quickly.Most obviously the more sunlight intensity on the solar cell the more energy it given off because sunlight = energyso the more sunlight that has been inputed into the solar cell the more output energy will be given off.
Yes. If there is any light, even on a cloudy day, a solar panel can generate power. But the amount of power generated is much less when the solar panel is not in direct sunlight (about 90% less).
