"<p>In their basic form, these panels acquire clean energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. Moreover, this renewable energy can power electrical loads only due to solar panels. But how is that possible?</p>\n\n<p>The design of a solar panel houses elements that eat the sunlight's photons to create electrons and atoms.</p>\n\n<p>The electrons get freed into the solar cell, move around, and eventually make their way to the metal conductor. This conductor has plates located on both sides of the solar panel. Consequently, these electrons come back to the solar cells and initiate a loop that charges the battery.</p>\n\n<p>All of this is possible due to the negative and positive charges housed in the solar panels.</p>\n\n<p>The individual solar cells have phosphorous, which acts as the negatively charged side, and boron acting as the positively charged side. Therefore, when this part gets exposed to electrons, the layers of silicon charge up in the solar cells. It gets converted into photons which generate the electric current used to power other machines.</p>\n\n<p>It happens because these photons encourage the solar panel surface to knock out the electrons from the atomic orbit. Due to this, it gets released, which creates an electric field in the solar cells.</p>\n\n<p>Then, these electrons become free and start to possess a directional current.</p>\n\n<p>The entire process involving the photons, electrons, and electric charges is called the photovoltaic effect.</p>"
