About this document
Understanding Solar Panels and Their Uses by Arabella Casa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Solar panels are devices that convert light into electricity. They get their power from sunlight, which is the most powerful source of light available. Solar panels are made up of collections of solar cells, where many small cells together can provide enough usable power. The more sunlight that hits a cell, the more electricity it produces, so solar panels on spacecraft are designed to always face toward the sun.
