The solar cell works in several steps: 1  Photons in sunlight hit the solar panel and are absorbed by semiconducting materials, such as silicon. 2  Electrons are excited from their current molecular/atomic orbital. 3  An array of solar cells converts solar energy into a usable amount of direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter can convert the power to alternating current (AC). The most commonly known solar cell is configured as a large-area pân junction made from silicon.
