How do solar cells function? (3 points)
Electrons absorb energy from the wind and then are stored in the Tesla box.
Electrons absorb energy from the sun and are converted into photoelectrons and stored in a battery.
Photons absorb energy from the sun and are converted into electrons and stored in a battery.
Photons absorb the sun and produce energy.
1. Photons from sunlight hit the solar panel, where they are absorbed by semiconductor materials like silicon.
2. This absorption of photons creates an electric current as electrons in the semiconductor are excited and flow through the material.
3. This electric current is then captured and converted into usable electricity for powering devices or stored in a battery for later use.
