Amorphous Solar Cell
Amorphous Solar Cells are the most popular type of solar cells in use today. These are the everyday solar cells, that you’ll probably buy if you get one today. They use the “p-n junction”, which take the photons of light, and through some chemistry, with some really complex molecules (pentacene, if you’re a scientist), a electrons transfer between 2 sides, and a electric current is produced.
The top layer is simply glass, but as you go deeper down, you hit the absorbent silicon layer, and then finally hit the back end, which is where you add your wires to the very back of, and then it’s just a matter of hooking up the solar panel to your energy system.
Of course, the main reason that you want to buy a Amorphous solar cell, is because they are the cheapest in the world. You can get a small solar panel, which will power about %30-%50 of your house, for under $150. That’s an average of course, but unless you live in the middle of the jungle, you should see a huge drop in your energy bills.
There are many different sites you can visit if you want some reasonably priced Solar Panels. solarpanelstore.com is a very comprehensive site, that gives you many different options, from small, household solar panels, to large powering systems for large corporations. solarhome.org takes a more utilitarian approach, offering a large variety of products for around the house. Finally, solarpanelinfo.com is a great source of information on production, installation, and research into solar panels.
