Solar cell
Solar cell. Solar, or photovoltaic, cells convert light into electrical energy. The cell is made from a semiconductor. When light hits the semiconductor it releases electrons that are picked up by a grid of wires and form an electrical current. Many cells may be grouped together to form a solar panel. Solar power is an environmentally friendly energy source

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the incredible technology behind solar cells. Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are responsible for converting light into electrical energy. The cell itself is constructed using a semiconductor material that plays a crucial role in this energy conversion process. When sunlight strikes the surface of the semiconductor, it triggers the release of electrons. These electrons are then captured by a grid of wires within the cell, generating an electrical current. This ingenious mechanism allows solar cells to harness clean and renewable energy directly from the sun. In order to maximize their efficiency and power output, multiple solar cells can be grouped together to form a larger unit called a solar panel. These panels have become increasingly popular in industries and households alike as they provide an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional electricity sources. The significance of solar power lies not only in its ability to produce electricity but also in its positive impact on our planet. By utilizing this green technology, we can reduce our carbon footprint and contribute towards building a sustainable future. Science Photo Library's stunning image beautifully captures both the intricate design and immense potential of these remarkable devices. It serves as a reminder that through innovative technologies like solar cells, we have the means to embrace cleaner forms of energy production while preserving our environment for generations to come.
