Right im meant to describe the diffrent between solar pannels and solar cells so far i put a solar pannel collects energy, in a solar pannel there are lots of cells wired together….., a solar cell is a single cell that stores energy and is a single solar converter and it absorbs sunlight and converts it into elecrticity..
I need to put more description for solar panel and a bit more for the cell part what can i put i cant think of anything help
The solar cell is one small (approx. 4"x4") area on the surface of a solar module. The module is made up of many solar cells set into a frame for support. A solar panel is several solar modules installed together on a rack. Put some racks together and you have a solar array.
Taking light energy and converting it into electrical energy, the solar cell is an ecological device. The light absorbing material of a solar cell will lead to photogeneration of charge carriers and a conductive contact will carry off the electrons into another wire or circuit.
Solar cells are made up of thin layers of silicon, and when sunlight strikes a cell’s light absorbing material, chemical reactions release electrons, generating an electric current.

For example, they can be constructed with sequential layers of thin film semiconductor materials, which are usually only micrometers thick. According to Sharp Electronics, a specialist in this area, such thin-film technologies account for around 12 percent of all solar modules sold worldwide.
AdTech Ad
The manufacturers of solar cells boast that they are cost-effective, quiet, safe, and reliable, and only require minimal maintenance over a long operational life.
Note that the term photovoltaic cell is sometimes used when the cell’s light source is not explicitly sunlight. Also, the study of solar cells is known as photovoltaics.

Have you thought of "Googling" the two items?
It will only be by chance that someone on here picks up your question in time for you to complete your homework.

A solar cell is just a single piece of silicon (a pn junction). Now if you take a load of solar cells, connect them up and encapsulate them in a protective package, you have a solar panel.
BTW, solar cells are usually called photovoltaic cells.
