Many people ask: how do solar panels work? Is there a risk when you want to install them? First of all, let’s see how it works and why people use it. Solar power panels are electricity panels that convert solar energy (sunlight) into electrical energy. This electricity generation can be done in two ways. First, it is directly by using photovoltaic and secondly, indirectly by centralizing solar energy. Photovoltaics directly convert light energy into electricity using the photoelectric effect.

Whereas concentrating the solar energy itself, it uses a lens or mirror system combined with a tracking system to focus the sun’s energy to one point to move the heat engine (heat). The electricity we can use today is electricity produced from the process of burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas. The combustion results will produce carbon dioxide gas which can damage or adversely affect the environment. The way the solar panel works is quite simple. The main component of this energy source is photovoltaic cells. The cell acts to capture the sun’s heat which will later be converted into electrical energy.

If this solar power panel is compared to other power plants, this type of solar power plant is recognized as being more environmentally friendly, inexpensive and has almost no pollution or waste in the process. Those are some of the advantages of solar electricity. How does this solar electricity work? After the sun’s heat is captured by the photovoltaic cells, then the solar heat will be used to heat the liquid which then becomes steam, the steam will be heated by a generator which will eventually produce electricity.

In general, how it works is almost the same as how it burns fossil fuels in its processing. The difference between fossil fuel power plants and solar power plants is that the steam produced is not from burning fossil fuels, but from solar power or sunlight. How do solar panels work? They work both thermal or photovoltaic is by utilizing active system solar energy. Solar electricity will later require special tools to absorb solar energy and minimize the reflection of sunlight. Then it collected and processed to become electrical energy. It works with ease and low risk. That is why many people now use it to save energy. It is free energy and people should not waste solar energy. Although it is not as strong as coal or else, when you have a long summer season, solar panels will save a lot of energy.
