Solar panels absorb light from various parts of the solar spectrum, including ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light, with different wavelengths impacting their efficiency.
Solar panels absorb mostly visible and near-infrared light to make electricity. The typical solar panel can work with light up to 850 nanometers. This lets it use various kinds of light, including some we can't see. Fenice Energy leads in offering solar panels that use light very effectively.
Most solar panels are made of crystalline silicon. It can absorb light in the visible-light spectrum, from 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). This is where high-energy photons are found. Capturing this light well boosts the solar panel's efficiency. Besides visible light, solar panels can also collect some infrared and ultraviolet light.
Solar panels make electricity from sunlight by using a mix of light wavelengths. These are mostly in the visible light and near-infrared areas. A typical solar panel absorbs light best around 850 nm. This includes parts of the visible light, some infrared, and a bit of ultraviolet. The exact light wavelengths a panel can convert vary.
When photons, particles of light, strike the solar cell, they can be absorbed if their energy matches or exceeds the band gap energy. Shorter wavelengths, such as UV and blue light, carry higher energy photons. Silicon solar cells are efficient at absorbing these shorter wavelengths.
One of the of wavelengths that isn't visible to us is ultraviolet (UV) light. Approximately 4% of sunlight that reaches the ground–and your solar panels–is ultraviolet. UV light contains photons solar panels transform into energy. In fact, because of its higher wavelength, UV light even contains more energy per photon than visible light.
Solar panels are built with materials that physically interact with certain wavelengths of solar energy. This enables them to transform solar energy into electricity. Here's how solar panels absorb and store energy. What's in a solar panel? Traditional solar panels are made with silicon crystals. Silicon is a very special material.

Solar panel production is generally measured in gigawatts, not number of panels, but if we roughly assume 250-watt solar panels are the global average, that means 1.5 billion solar panels are made per year. And that number's only going up. To learn more, check out our guide to where solar panels are made.
Of those, at least 519,409 were residential installations, meaning less than 2% of the 28 million homes in the UK are generating electricity from solar panels – a figure that will hopefully continue to increase as solar panels get more affordable in the coming years.
379GW of solar panels were produced in 2022, a 57% increase on 2021's figure, according to a 2023 report by the IEA. Solar panel production is generally measured in gigawatts, not number of panels, but if we roughly assume 250-watt solar panels are the global average, that means 1.5 billion solar panels are made per year.
