From the Wikipedia article

A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using multiple solar modules that consists of photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries. Solar panels can be known as solar cell panels, or solar electric panels. Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called arrays or systems. A photovoltaic system consists of one or more solar panels, an inverter that converts direct current electricity to alternating current where it is necessary, and sometimes other components such as charge controllers, meters, or solar trackers to maximize direct sunlight. Most panels are in solar farms or rooftop solar panels, which supply the electricity grid. Solar panels use a renewable and clean source of energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to hydrocarbon-sourced energy. However, they depend on the availability and intensity of sunlight, require cleaning, and have high initial costs. Solar panels are widely used for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes, as well as in space, often together with batteries.
