A community portal about Solar cells with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: A solar cell is a device that converts photons from the sun into electricity. In general, a solar cell that includes both solar and nonsolar sources of light is termed a photovoltaic cell. Fundamentally, the device needs to fulfill only two functions: photogeneration of charge carriers in a light-absorbing material, and separation of the charge carriers to a conductive contact that will transmit the electricity. This conversion is called the photovoltaic effect, and the field of research related to solar cells is known as photovoltaics.
Make your own solar cell out of powdered donuts, Everclear, Tazo Passion tea, and other common ingredients. (slyt) Sure, it's not practical for anything, but hey, at least you get an idea of how solar panels are made and work.
