How Much Energy Does a Solar Panel Produce?

The electrons are captured on conductors in the form of an electric current and this electricity is harnessed and preserved. The area where this reaction occurs is called a photovoltaic cell or solar cell. Solar panels (or modules) are made up of hundreds or thousands of these cells, and multiple solar panels make up a solar array.
