Generate Electricity - How Solar Panels Work!

Thank you so so so much! I'm a high school student, and I was studying for AP Physics, and I did NOT understand solar cells at all. this made me understand and I explained it in detail to my friend, and I feel as if I can really apply it! Thank you so much! Also I built a mini solar panel for extra credit and this video helped me know what materials to buy so thanks again! I would not have passed without you :)

Congratulations on this wonderful video!

Hindi me video

This video is a gem! Thank you for this masterpiece! It'll go a long way.

OUTSTANDING video and explanation. A LEGEND

superb content. very helpful

These videos never let me down when I'm confused by these concepts. Thanks for making these

no

At 1: 46 sec ... I think it works 👀

Best video and explanation of how a solar panel works I have ever seen. Schools should take notes on this.

I literally screamed when he snapped that one in half

No, it will no work.

have a good day

Yes

human engineering is amazing

Amazing video. I am so glad that I happened to find your channel.

Thanks for good exlplanation.

Bruh there's something caled law of thermodynamics. If it was possible everyone could generate electricity at home and no electricity bills. Do not work but your are gud 😊

No energy grastically getting low and low 😕

I have 50watts solar system at home

you are a fantastic teacher as you always helping me simplify everything about my courses. I am very grateful for that

I want to know the schematics of the basic charge controller

no, it can't power itself

Hi to all who may read my comment.
I have a question for who want to reply , and thanks in advance for the answer .
I just buy as cheap solar panel to make some experiences and it gives 18 V / 1.6 A = 30 W.
When clouds pass on I still have 18 V on my V meter ,but it can`t light a car bulb of 12 V 10 W . As I don`t have an A. meter , I can`t know how much Amps are passing through .
When people talks about solar panels in parallel or in series , NO one will talk about which drop more when clouds are above .
If I still have 18 V then I conclude that the amperage has drop drastically , Question is :
If I put more panels in parallel will I have more Amps in that same cloud condition?
2nd question . why does the voltage stay the same while the Amperage drops?

No

Your answer is 'NO'

Thank you so much. This video answerd all the questions i had. So many informations i did actually not find anywhere else across google.❤👍

How can the electron in the pn junction didn't feel the hole in the P/N junction

What about the resin? Doesn't it also reflect the light away? Since the AR coat is under the resin.

Brilliant video!!! Clear and concise. Very informative 💪🏿

Yes

This video got me to be an electric engineer

No

I know the answer is no but I assume it’s because of thermodynamics and diminishing returns. Not entirely sure that’s the reason but I know it cant power itself. Kind of like a fan on a sailboat, it sounds good in theory but it doesn’t work in practice.

Thank you very much for this channel.

Hmm, I don't think a solar cell can power itself, at least not very well, because you'd suffer transmission losses. You could run the system and it might even stay on for a while but due to losses to atmosphere and transmission your led would eventually go out, and then you'd lose all power

Unless there are EM feild shenanigans that make it completely impossible...

I myself is very interested and want to use it everywhere! Imagine how much power we would have if alot of people put these on their roof?it will probably be larger than any powerplant with 0 gas admissions

Altho i wonder if it would do more than nuclear energy 🤔

I think I discovered a new alternate way for solar panels which has never been found out before 🤯

Thanks!

My god, this has been the best training video for Solar by far. Doesn't make you lose focus not even for a second. I work as an Electrical Supervisor in an EPC company and will definitely tell the about PVcase as well. And I will share this video with our construction & engineering team. Keep up the amazing content.

Very well presented, thank you.

Best video ever

you forgot to include why they degrade, by the way good content though ❤
