Solar Cells Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Solar panels collect clean renewable energy from sunlight and convert that into electricity which is used to power electrical loads. Solar panels are made from several combined solar cells with layers of silicon, phosphorus (negative charge) and boron (positive charge). Solar panels initiate the electric current by absorbing photons which knocks of electrons front their atomic orbits and form an electric field which then pull these free electrons into a directional current. This entire process is known as the photovoltaic effect. Solar panels placed on a house roof transfer all the electricity into the main power grid which can be stored and used at night.
In a well-balanced grid, power is generated by solar panels during the day which is stored and then can be utilized at night. In some countries, additional power generated by solar panel owners at home can sell it to the electricity producers. In the off grid solar systems, charge controller, battery bank, and an inverter are the needed components. Direct current from the solar array is sent through the charge controller to the battery bank in these cases. The power is then drawn from the battery bank into the invertor, which converts DC to AC which can be used for non-DC appliances.
