How do Solar Panels Work?
The technology behind solar energy is complex to understand for those of us who aren’t into solar industry. We would try to explain the whole process in simple terms. We all know sun emits heat and light. This light is made up of small particles called photons. Every solar panels is essentially a magnetized sheet containing densely packed atoms.

When photons from the sun hit the solar panel they collide with these atoms and further due to the design of the panel knock electrons off of these atoms. This generates an electric current, which then powers your house through the electrical wiring or gets stored in a solar battery to be used later.
