Animation of solar power generation principle

What is solar energy animation?

The animated video makes use of a minimal design aesthetic mixing 2D motion graphics and some elements of 3D design to explain the solar panel technology. The solar energy animation strikes the right chord between accurate scientific information and an easily understood overview.

How does a solar panel generate electricity?

At the heart of a solar panel’s ability to generate electricity is the photovoltaic (PV) effect. Discovered in 1839 by French physicist Edmond Becquerel, the PV effect is the process by which solar cells within the panel convert sunlight into electricity.

Why should you use solar energy animation?

The solar energy animation strikes the right chord between accurate scientific information and an easily understood overview. The colour pallette throughout ensures the videos reflects the clients brand effectively.

How do solar panels convert sunlight into energy?

Solar panels don't use wind to generate electricity like turbines do. Instead, they convert sunlight into energy. Each solar cell is made of multiple layers, with the top semiconductor being a negative layer, which contains extra electrons. This setup allows solar panels to capture sunlight and generate electricity.

Do solar panels generate electricity at night?

Solar panels generate no electricity at night time. Solar panels can't store energy, so you have to use the electricity they generate when the sun is shining. You need batteries to store the energy generated. These are expensive. – Solar cells convert the light from the sun into electricity.

How do solar farms work?

Solar farms are large areas of land that can be covered with thousands of solar panels that generate lots of electricity. Some solar farms have fixed solar panels that always face the same direction. Some have moving panels that turn so that they always directly face the Sun. This helps them generate as much electricity as possible.
