Detailed explanation-1: -Chloroplasts work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells. It is like a solar panel that changes sunlight energy into electric energy. The entire process is called photosynthesis and it all depends on the little green chlorophyll molecules in each chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chloroplast is the plant’s organelle that is most similar to a solar cell as they both collect energy from the sun and convert it into something useful.

Detailed explanation-3: -Individual solar cell devices are often the electrical building blocks of photovoltaic modules, known colloquially as solar panels. The common single junction silicon solar cell can produce a maximum open-circuit voltage of approximately 0.5 to 0.6 volts.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant cells which contain chloroplasts are mostly parenchyma cells but also collenchyma tissue have some chloroplasts. A plant cell which contains chloroplasts is typically called a chlorenchyma cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is biological photovoltaics? Biological photovoltaics (BPV) is a clean energy-generating technology that uses biological photosynthetic material to capture solar energy and directly produce electrical power. BPV systems are sometimes also described as living solar panels.
