The sunlight that powers solar panels also damages them.

A solar cell converts sunlight into electricity by using the energy from sunlight to "break away" negative charges, or electrons, in the silicon. The electrons are then collected as electricity .

The photovoltaic effect

This separation of charge creates an electric field at the junction which is in opposition to that already existing at the junction, thereby reducing the net electric field. Since the electric field represents a barrier to the flow of the forward bias diffusion current, the reduction of the electric field increases the diffusion current. A new ...
