The energy conversion taking place in a solar panel, solar energy→ electricity

Solar cells combined in an arrangement is called a solar panel. The purpose of the solar panel is to harness solar energy and deliver enough electricity for practical use.

The two main advantages of solar panel are-

•No moving parts, require less maintenance and work satisfactorily without a focusing device.

•They can be set up in remote or inaccessible Hamlets, or very sparsely inhabited areas, in which laying of power transmission line may be expensive or not commercially viable.
