  • you have some great stuff here

  • @18railroad It is a semi-conductor, meaning it can be both an insulator and a conductor. The definition of voltage is simply a separation of charge, therefor it must be an insulator (to keep the electrons and holes from pairing up and eliminating each other). However, to use the energy, a conductor must be used to allow electron flow.

  • is PV cell conductive material?

  • Come buy our ready-made solar cells here, .plastecs.com.

    get great deals, Our solar cells come right off the production line, they have slight defects, or small chips. Can guarantee that they work!!

  • Thanks for the video, solar modules manufacturing

  • @AxelTiger with wire on top to carry the charge and some anti reflective material to prevent reflective loss

  • so essentially a solar panel is a big, flat diode?

  • you cant make this at home, you'll need several ready-made solar cells out of which you can make solar panels.

  • awesome ..gained knowlege by watching this thanks for the video

  • ___ w w w diymagneticmotor com has FREE energy stuff maybe it help to someone...
