Solar Panels Solar Panels‚ also known as Solar Cells‚ convert solar energy into electrical energy. When sunlight hits the solar panel it knocks electrons loose from their atoms and then they move through the built in circuit‚ thus creating a current of energy. This energy can be stored in batteries for later use or it can be used right away. Antoine César Becquerel‚ a French scientist‚ and his son‚ Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel‚ were the first to notice photovoltaic power in 1839. They discovered
