SOLAR GENERATORS

Solar Generators 

     Solar generators are device capable of producing electricity using only the energy from the sun.
Energy from the sun is in the form of light energy, light is composed of many colors and each colors has its own bandwidth and intensity. Solar cells or photovoltaic cells transforms energy of the sun into electrical energy. Solar cells are made up of semi-conductors mainly silicon and other. Since it is a semi-conductor material it is partially conductive and partially insulative, that it makes it best for use in solar cells.As the light from the sun strikes the solar cell, solar cell absorbs light energy or photons and creates a photovoltaic effect(ability to emit electrons when hit by light). Since it emits electrons, it becomes a charge body as a result of continuous strike of light a voltage will be produced. The intensity of the voltage produce is also proportional to the intensity of the light that strikes. It does not mean that the hotter the place the greater the voltage produce, because solar panels or solar cells are most efficient in cold place with direct sunlight. Remember also that its not the heat that makes solar cells produce electricity, but its the light intensity itself the reason. In building future solar panels take note of the following for maximum power produce.

1. The place must not be hot for it lessen the power produce by solar panels. Somehow production and development of solar panels and cells is still improving and still finding ways on how to improve the temperature tolerance of solar panels.
2. The position of the solar panels must be perpendicular to the direction of the sunlight (for maximum area exposed). Improvements in the techniques of absorption of sunlight is now improved, we can now use a device to follow the maximum sunlight production meaning it follows where the sun is. But those device still consumes power, so make a wise plan for it.
3. Lastly, choose a best solar panels that fits in the climate you have. Different kinds of solar panels has also different characteristics. If you have a hooter place, choose the right solar pannel to use, the one that has a highr temperature tolerance.

        Production of Electricity in using solar panels and solar cells can be increased by connecting it in parallel or series connection.Individual Solar panels can be connected to form one supply that is capable of producing mush larger power. An Array of solar panels with an area of 1hectare is capable of producing a 1Megawatt Power. Think of it, If you have a 10hectares or more then you can be one of the main source of electricity. All the expenses shall be paid off for solar cells or solar panels has a maximum lifespan of more than 25years.
