What Is a Solar Cell?
A solar cell is a device that converts sunlight into electrical energy. The principle of solar cells involves the movement of electrons in a semiconductor when exposed to sunlight, generating electricity.
Although it is called a solar cell, it does not have the capability to store electricity. It is a device for generating electricity, and technically it should be referred to as a solar power generator rather than a solar cell.
The advantages of solar cells include being environmentally friendly by not emitting carbon dioxide, having an infinite power source, providing electricity even during power outages, generating income through selling excess electricity, and saving on electricity costs.
Recently, there has been an increasing trend of installing solar cells for residential use.
