Wondering How Premier Solar Power Works? Read This

Do you know how solar power works? Yes? That’s a great thing. But if you have no idea how it works, let us help you crack the Premier Solar power code! 

PV panels or solar photovoltaic are highly-tech based but truly a simple technology that transforms direct sunlight into electricity. According to leading experts – A solar panel works by “permitting photons, or light particles” to blow electrons free from atoms, therefore, generating a flow of electricity. 

However, the technical way of saying this is -

“The PV cells convert the energy in sunlight to electricity (exclusively, Direct Current (DC). This DC is then renewed into alternating current (AC) with the help of an inverter.” 

 It’s an idea that has been on the front-page for decades. In the 18th century, a French scientist named – Edmond Becquerel revealed that “certain materials would give-off sparks of electricity when hit with sunlight. Soon, the researchers’ discovered this property as a photoelectric effect that could be easily harnessed.

Some Quick Facts

• The first PV cell was created in late 1800  
• The PV cells were made of selenium.
• In the year 1950, scientists revisited the technology using silicon – produced PV cells that could convert 4% of the energy in sunlight directly to electricity. 

How Solar Power Works

Premier Solar panels absorb sunlight through PV cells, generate DC energy and then convert it into AC energy that can be used with inverter technology. The alternative energy then passes through the electrical panel of the house and is circulated accordingly.

A basic solar panel holds a layer of the silicon cell, a glass case, a metal frame and different wires allowing the flow of silicon cells to drift. Silicon has conductive properties also it's a non-metal which allows it to turn sunlight into electricity. 

The moment light interacts with a silicon cell; it causes the movement of electrons, which triggers a flow of electric current. This cause is called "PV effect" and describes the universal features of solar panel technology.

1. The overall photovoltaic process outlined above goes through the following steps:

2. The solar PV silicon cell absorbs solar radiation

3. When the daylight interacts with the silicon cell, the electrons begin to drift

4. The dislocation of the electrons set up a flow of electric current, seized by the nodes and the wiring in the panel

5. The wires feed this DC solar inverter and convert it into alternating current
