The sun’s light travels in the form of energy packed particles referred to as photons. Sometimes, certain materials produce an electric current when exposed to these photons. This is referred to as the photovoltaic effect.
Solar panels absorb mostly visible and near-infrared light to make electricity. The typical solar panel can work with light up to 850 nanometers. This lets it use various kinds of light, including some we can’t see. Fenice Energy leads in offering solar panels that use light very effectively.
The kind of light a panel can turn into power depends on its material. What part of the solar spectrum is most effective for solar panels? The best light for solar panels falls in the visible range, from violet to red. This is where the highest energy photons are.
Solar panels work best with light you can see and near-infrared light. They change this light into power through the photovoltaic effect. Most solar panels can best catch light with a wavelength of about 850 nm. This includes light we can see, plus a bit of infrared and ultraviolet. How do solar panels work with the photovoltaic effect?
Most solar panels are made of crystalline silicon. It can absorb light in the visible-light spectrum, from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). This is where high-energy photons are found. Capturing this light well boosts the solar panel’s efficiency. Besides visible light, solar panels can also collect some infrared and ultraviolet light.
Solar panels make electricity from sunlight by using a mix of light wavelengths. These are mostly in the visible light and near-infrared areas. A typical solar panel absorbs light best around 850 nm. This includes parts of the visible light, some infrared, and a bit of ultraviolet. The exact light wavelengths a panel can convert vary.
