The main components of a solar panel are the solar cells, wiring, and a protective covering. 2 The solar cells are responsible for absorbing the sunlight and converting it into electrical energy. 3 Wiring is used to connect multiple solar cells together and to connect them to the device they are powering, such as a battery or an inverter. 4 The protective covering helps to protect the solar cells from environmental damage.
