When thinking of going to the solar panel path,
you probably have a vague idea of how the whole system works. Most people
assume that the sun shines on the solar panel, there is a reaction with the
materials and voila! You have the electricity. However, how the whole thing
operates is a bit complicated. The solar panel is also known as photovoltaic
which was first noted in 1839 by a French scientist named Alexandre-Edmond
Becquerel. There have been various developments since then where different
materials such as selenium, silicon, boron, and phosphorus have been used to
produce electricity.
