Project Overview As a group we decided to go the analytical route. The purpose of our project was to investigate the physics of solar panels including their production and how they convert light to energy. Also investigated are their efficiency and efficacy as long-term “green” solutions as well as some of the political implications of their use. The Raw Materials Required for Solar Panels • There are several varieties of cells today that can be used to absorb sunlight and convert those photons into electrical energy. These include: – CIS (Copper Indium Diselenide) Cells – CdTe cells (Cadmium Telluride) ...
