How Solar Panels Work

01

Photon Absorption

Solar cells absorb photons from sunlight, creating electron-hole pairs in the silicon material.

02

Electric Field

The p-n junction creates an electric field that separates electrons and holes, generating voltage.

03

Current Flow

Electrons flow through the circuit, creating direct current (DC) electricity that powers your home.

History of Solar Panels

1839

Photovoltaic Effect Discovered

French physicist Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect - the ability to generate electricity from light.

1954

First Silicon Solar Cell

Bell Labs created the first practical silicon solar cell with 6% efficiency, marking the birth of modern solar technology.

1970s

Space Applications

Solar panels became essential for space missions, powering satellites and space stations.

2000s

Mass Production

China entered the market, driving down costs by 90% and making solar accessible to homeowners.

2020s

High Efficiency Era

Modern panels achieve 22-24% efficiency with 25-year warranties. Solar is now cheaper than fossil fuels.

Future of Solar Panels

Perovskite Solar Cells

2027-2030

Next-generation technology promising 30%+ efficiency at lower costs. Expected to hit market by 2027.

Bifacial Panels

Now Available

Panels that capture light from both sides, increasing energy generation by 10-20%.

Solar Roof Tiles

2025-2026

Integrated solar tiles that replace traditional roofing, maintaining aesthetics while generating power.

AI-Optimized Manufacturing

Ongoing

Machine learning improving panel quality and reducing defects, leading to longer lifespans.

What to Look For When Buying

✅ Do's

Check efficiency rating (aim for 20%+)

Verify warranty (minimum 25 years)

Look for Tier-1 manufacturers

Check temperature coefficient (lower is better)

Verify certifications (BIS, IEC, MNRE approved)

Compare cost per watt, not just panel price

❌ Don'ts

×

Don't buy without warranty documentation

×

Avoid unknown brands with no track record

×

Don't ignore degradation rate (should be <0.5%/year)

×

Avoid panels without proper certifications

×

Don't choose based on price alone

×

Avoid panels with poor temperature performance
