Photoelectric Effect in Solar Panels: Harnessing Light Energy for Sustainable Power

Exploring the principle of Quantum Mechanics and Optics behind the photoelectric effect using solar panels helps to deepen our understanding of this phenomenon and practical methods of using it to turn light into electricity. In this study, Pasco Capstone was adopted to measure current and voltage from different wavelengths of light to demonstrate the relationship of light wavelength and the photoelectric effect. This research provides an experimental and analytical study of the photoelectric effect and its relation to AOSHIKE Solar Panels (Photovoltaic cells). Solar panel design improvement and efficiency enhancement in light-to-electrical energy conversion are gained from the study that helps in the field.
