Exactly what i was looking for, thanks.

This is a really good video. Explains the solar panels pretty well

if you think its gay why the hell did you watch it

That would be FREE energy, and you NEVER get something for nothing. Your confusion is due to the POOR explaination of whats really happening. Photons are Free electrons in a high energy state. photons are captured/converted by its collision with atoms in the primary silicon layer liberating an existing electron, creating a difference in charge (like in a battery )and thus the ability to do work. WITHOUT the photon, there is nothing to UN-balance the charge of the two semiconductor materials.

You know, seems to me, after studying solar cells and how they actually work. They could be made in such a way that no light is needed to move the electrons from the negative to the positive layer. In a way its already a battery inside, and charge wont's to separate on its own. Perhaps a new twist on the doping of such crystals in time will lead to them working without the need for light.

It only provided surface information.
