How solar power station works? and principle of photovoltaic cells.?
Question:
Answer:
A solar cell is usually a combination of materials, the photons in the sunlight strips electrons form one layer of materials to the other and moving electrons induces a current. Newer solar cells have multiple layers the work with the different wavelengths of the sunlight to increase the efficiency. Average power of sunlight on the earth is roughly 1000 watts per square meter. SO you can see a solar power station need a lot of room to generate enough power. The encapsulation of the cell to protect the cells also reduces the efficiency of the cells.
the sun light goes to the panels which i think causes a kind of reaction and produces energy somehow.
