Do Solar Panels Work Through Glass Or Windows?
Yes, solar panels work through glass or windows. The photovoltaic cells in solar panels are made of a material called silicon. When sunlight hits a solar panel, the photons in the sunlight knock electrons loose from the atoms in the silicon. The electrons flow through the material to metal contacts on the back of the solar panel, and this flow of electrons creates an electric current. Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight with photovoltaic cells and converting it into electricity that can be used to power homes and businesses. Solar panels can be installed on the roofs of buildings, but they can also be installed …
