"Sunlight is made up of tiny packets called photons. Every minute enough of this energy reaches the world to meet the world's energy demand for the whole world. Photoelectric panels consists of many solar cells, these are made of materials like silicon, one of the most common elements on earth. The individual cell is designed with a positive and a negative layer to create an electric field, just like in a battery. As photons are absorbed in the cell, their energy causes electrons to become free, the electrons move toward the bottom of the cell, and exit through the connecting wire. The flow of photons is what we call electricity. By combining solar cells and photovolataic panels, we can produce just the right amount of electricity to preform a specific job, no matter how large or small."
