Detailed explanation-1: -The solar cell converts the solar energy directly into electrical energy with the help of photovoltaic effect. Note: The solar light when incident on the cell makes the electrons move to the excited state due to which they tend to move through the material and the electric current is therefore generated.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, the solar cell converts solar energy into electrical energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -A solar cell takes solar energy directly from the sunlight and converts it into electrical energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -When photons, or particles of light, hit the thin layer of silicon on the top of a solar panel, they knock electrons off the silicon atoms. This PV charge creates an electric current (specifically, direct current or DC), which is captured by the wiring in solar panels.
