Solar circuit boards are designed to convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. When sunlight strikes these cells, electrons are dislodged, generating direct current (DC) electricity. This produced power can be utilized immediately or be stored in batteries for.

Solar panels do not need ultraviolet (UV) light to generate electricity. Standard silicon solar panels respond to wavelengths from about 400 to 1,100 nanometers, which means they primarily convert visible light and near-infrared light into power.
