495W Sungod Mono Crystal Solar Panel (NB-495-BMD-HV)

Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, typically composed of silicon, a semiconductor material. When sunlight hits these cells, photons (particles of light) are absorbed by the silicon atoms, causing electrons to be knocked loose from their atoms. This creates an electric current that can be captured as electricity.

The panels are constructed with multiple cells connected together and protected by a layer of glass and a sturdy backing. As sunlight strikes the panel, the photons generate a flow of electrons, creating direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in homes and businesses.
