PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current electricity, which can be used to power various
Learn More
Solar panels generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cells within the panel, it excites electrons, causing them to move and create an electric current.

At a high level, solar panels are made up of solar cells, which absorb sunlight. They use this sunlight to create direct current (DC) electricity through a process called "the photovoltaic effect."
Learn More
Solar panels inherently produce DC due to the unidirectional charge carrier movement dictated by the photovoltaic effect. While AC is the final usable
