How Solar Panels Work In 60 Second Crash Course

Want a quick crash course of how a solar panel magically makes electricity? Here is a 60 second explanation.
In this video, I will explain how solar panels came about, how a solar cell is constructed, and how it operates using the photoelectric effect to generate DC electricity.

From the comments I thought you were going to be speed reading.. it was alot of information in a very short time but it was intelligible. Great video.

[@LDSreliance]

Haha, thanks! I think they are just giving me crap.

[@GatorLife57]

Very interesting. Thank you. Thumbs up. ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@LDSreliance]

You are welcome and thanks!

[@Natasguy]

Is there any resources that we can be pointed to to learn more?

[@LDSreliance]

You want a more in depth explanation about how solar panels work?

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Regarding your 100w starter kit, Would you recommend bumping up to the Monocrystalline Solar Panel for the extra 9 bucks if that extra cost was no issue? Thanks
(if know you've covered this topic before, I apologize!)

[@LDSreliance]

If you need a smaller form factor then it might be worth the extra cost. But it will not produce more power than the poly.

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Thanks!

[@LDSreliance]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Thanks!

Is there a 90 sec version?

[@LDSreliance]

Haha, was it too short?

[@glorvalmacglorvas171]

I read somewhere that there was a newer way to make solar panels that was better using silicon. Dont quote me but I think a company did.

[@LDSreliance]

There are newer solar cells made of other materials than silicon. But none are being manufactured in any quantity yet to my knowledge.

[@stevennihipali3607]

I still think I need your starter kit... electricity just isn't my thing

[@LDSreliance]

Nothing wrong with that. Putting that kit together and learning how the components work will help you a lot. At least it did for me. I learn best hands on.

[@LDSreliance]

Thanks, Delphi! I appreciate the support. And believe me I am not getting rich promoting these products. It is mostly just a way to help people not make some of the expensive mistakes I made when I started.

[@stevennihipali3607]

Mr. Delphi yeah man, I could do this. need to get tht wife along with it. we're both in our 30's and just bought our first home. trying to save money anywhere we can

[@robertschilling3308]

hey....slow down dangnabit! 😄😄

[@LDSreliance]

No, I had to talk fast to do it in under 60 seconds!

[@nopparuj]

LDSreliance
But please , Don't 30 sec. Too fast

[@LDSreliance]

Yes, 30 seconds would have been too fast. I think I was able to cover the basics in 60 seconds.
