Solar panels and light bulbs work together in a very specific way: solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, and this electricity can then be used to power light bulbs.
Here's how it works:
- Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
- An inverter converts the DC electricity from the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity that powers most household appliances, including light bulbs.
- The AC electricity can then be used to power light bulbs directly or stored in a battery for later use.
Examples:
- Solar-powered streetlights: These lights are powered by solar panels that charge batteries during the day, allowing the lights to operate at night.
- Solar-powered home lighting: Homes can use solar panels to generate electricity to power their lights, reducing their reliance on the traditional electrical grid.
In conclusion, solar panels do work with light bulbs by generating electricity that can be used to power them.
