How do solar panels convert sunlight into energy?

Sunlight contains ultra-tiny invisible particles called photons that spread outward in all directions from the sun’s surface. When these photons strike a solar panel, they knock electrons off silicon chips inside the panel. The electrons are directed into an electrical current that travels through wiring to power appliances or feed into batteries for long-term storage.

Smart solar panels will use the suns energy and distribute it to surrounding areas, making it a decentralized system. This offers more security because even if somehow the roadways are destroyed, only the ones that were damaged would stop producing energy. The distribution of the energy is simple. A cable corridor would be placed that runs alongside the road. These corridors are much safer than things like telephone poles because they are protected by bad weather. Other companies are also excited to store their cables in the cable corridor because of the safety and the easy access.
