How do solar panels work?

Photovoltaic solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Solar panels are composed of solar cells made of semiconductor material, such as silicon. When sunlight strikes the panel, photons of light are absorbed by the cells.

The energy of the photons releases electrons in the semiconductor material and creates an electrical potential difference between the different layers of the panel. This effect causes the electrons to move and generates a continuous electric current, which flows in a constant direction.

The inverter is responsible for transforming the direct current into alternating current, which is the form of electricity we use at home, in our devices and appliances. The electricity generated by the solar panels can be used directly, stored in batteries for later use or sent back to the grid.

Types of solar panels

In recent years, the composition of photovoltaic solar panels has evolved in the search for greater efficiency and performance. At present, we can differentiate between three types of solar panels, mainly according to their characteristics.

Monocrystalline solar panels
This type of solar panel is made up of a multitude of photovoltaic cells, manufactured with a single silicon crystal. In this sense, this type of photovoltaic solar panels show a high efficiency due to the purity of its composition. For this reason, they produce a higher amount of electricity and it maintains its high performance even in geographical areas where the climate is colder and shadier, with a tendency to fog or rain. It also requires less long-term maintenance than a polycrystalline panel. These are the panels we commercialise in Sunhero.

Polycrystalline solar panels

What differentiates polycrystalline panels from monocrystalline panels is that these types of solar panels are composed of several materials other than silicon. This lack of purity means that their performance and quality is lower than monocrystalline panels and they are also a cheaper option.

Thin film solar panels
Thin-film solar panels use a very thin layer of semiconductor material, making them a very flexible panel, which can be installed and adapted to various surfaces. They are usually more affordable but also offer lower energy efficiency

Access to grants and subsidies for solar panels

There are currently different types of subsidies available for photovoltaic installations. At Sunhero, we help you with the procedures for all of them so that you don’t have to worry about anything.
