Por supuesto, hay mucho m\u00e1s detr\u00e1s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comprender c\u00f3mo funcionan las c\u00e9lulas solares es la base para entender c\u00f3mo funciona el sistema solar. Pero antes de sumergirse en el asunto, debe saber que las c\u00e9lulas solares juntas forman un m\u00f3dulo y cuando los m\u00f3dulos est\u00e1n conectados, forman un sistema o instalaci\u00f3n solar.

Este material se llama semiconductor. Cuando el semiconductor se expone a la luz solar, comienza a absorber la luz, transform\u00e1ndola en part\u00edculas cargadas negativamente conocidas como electrones. Luego, los electrones fluyen a trav\u00e9s del semiconductor como corriente el\u00e9ctrica y atraviesan los contactos de metal antes de viajar al inversor. Una vez que llega al inversor, convierte la corriente continua (conocida por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s como CC) en corriente alterna (conocida por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s como CA), que fluye hacia la red el\u00e9ctrica y se conecta al sistema el\u00e9ctrico del hogar.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A tener en cuenta&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mientras los rayos del sol contin\u00faen llegando al m\u00f3dulo y el circuito est\u00e9 conectado, se seguir\u00e1 generando electricidad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fuente: <\/strong>Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve seen them on rooftops, in fields, along streets and you can see them more often across the countryside.
