Solar Street Lights: Energy Conversion Explained by Solar Panels

Solar panels are the main components of a solar power generation system, and their conversion efficiency can directly affect the service life of solar street lights. So how do solar panels convert energy? Let’s analyze it for you by experts from Changhui Lighting: Solar cells A panel is a device that converts sunlight into electrical energy by the photovoltaic effect. It is a semiconductor photodiode. When the solar light shines on the photodiode, the solar panel photodiode will convert the solar energy into electricity and generate a certain current. When many cells are connected in series or in parallel, a solar cell array with relatively large output power can be formed. Solar panels are an energy-saving and environmentally friendly new energy source with the advantages of permanence, cleanliness and flexibility. As long as there is sunlight, solar cells can be invested once and can be used for a long time; compared with large thermal power and nuclear power generation, solar cells will not pollute the environment; solar cells can be large, medium and small, as large as one million kilowatts. Medium-sized power station, small to solar battery pack for only one household, this is unmatched by other power sources. To sum up, as a new energy, solar energy is favored by people in life, and will set off a wave of revolution in the future development.
