Solar Panel Exhibit

The solar panel consists of N and P type silicon. In the solar panel exhibit, light from the sun creates holes in silicon. The N form of the silicon possesses extra electrons, and those electrons want to move from the negative side of the silicon to the positive side of the silicon where there are more holes to fill. As the electrons rush to the holes, the positive and negative charges exert a repulsive force on each other thus creating voltage.
