How the do it yourself solar panel operates
The complete set of solar cells included in the kits to construct
12v battery charging solar panel and detailed assembly guidelines,
combined with the liquid flux for easy soldering are aided by the
soldering and wiring diagrams, which give a clear picture to the DIY
solar worker as to how the Solar Panel will work. It is the
photoelectric or photovoltaic (PV) effect caused by the material
used for solar panels that converts light energy into electrical
energy at the atomic level. In simple words, sunlight is transformed
into electricity. The sunlight shining on a PV cell may be reflected
or absorbed, so in the first instance it passes through but in the
latter, the absorbed light generates electricity.
