How is Solar power used to generate electricity?

Using solar cells. Technically it is photovoltaic effect.

Hi Zachary,

Here are a summary. Maybe it can help you:

1 -Solar photovoltaic cells create DC (direct current) electricity. Most typically, they use semi-conductor material (silicon) in the panel, which interacts with sunlight to create electricity.

2-The electricity then can be used to power computers and appliances, or the entire house, if you build the system big enough. The electricity is only generated from the panels during the day when they are interacting with direct sunlight.

you need build solar panel and solar photovoltaic system. solar panel collect solar power.Photovoltaic cells developed to all the energy they collect and store. If you do not everything so you can have in reserve for later.

you can find some helpful information at www.greenenergygreenhome.com. This site is about how to use green energy to covert your home into green energy home. You wll find some information about solar power used to generate electricity.

Moonworks is a renewable energy installer. We created a White Paper to explain this exact question. Residential Solar Technology Made Simple: http://www.moonworkshome.com/home-improvement-reso...

Hope this helps.

once you could desire to potential a radio repeater interior the midst of nowhere and fool rednecks keep shooting out the wind turbine particularly that regulate into years in the past whilst photograph voltaic exchange into high priced, now it is used to potential parking meters whilst there is grid electrical energy some yards away, in basic terms through fact it is extra competitively priced to place in
