Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels – Electricity Conversion From Sunlight


With solar panels, electricity is produced when a phenomenon known as photovoltaic effect takes place. This effect causes a voltage (potential difference) to manifest when electromagnetic radiation falls on the surface of a semiconductor. In the case of solar panels, the radiation happens to be visible sunlight. As you may have realized by now, the [...]

Flexible Solar Panels


Flexible solar panels are made by depositing thin-film amorphous silicon on polymer substrates. It has to be thin, lightweight and flexible enough to be rolled up for storage. During the manufacturing process, individual solar cells are connected together as the doped semiconductor units are laid on the substrate. In the final process, the sheet of [...]
