Solar Panels | MCQs

Explanation

A solar panel, consisting of many photovoltaic cells.

A photovoltaic (PV) cell is an energy harvesting technology.

It converts solar energy into useful electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.

Explanation

When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell.

The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material; the “semi” means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal.
