Question:
Just wanted to know...do solar cells help plants grow faster (than its normal growth rate)/better?
Answer:
no. not unless you converted the energy stored into sunlight (which isn't the same as regular light) then there would be more sunlight, but then the plant would shrivel & die, so no a solar cell does not effect the growth of a plant.
sunlight helps
