  1. I think 1 part of a solar panel is a Photovoltic cell which is used to produce electricity.

  2. Hi Solar stars,

    Parts to a solar panel are front Contact, back contact, n-Type semiconductor. p-Type semiconductor, Anti-reflection coating, transparent adhesive, cover glass, substrate and photovoltaic cells?
    (I think they are wrong but that's what the internet said)

  3. Some of the solar panel parts include an inverter, rechargeable batteries (for use at night), a charge controller (a device that prevents the batteries from over-charging),2 x circuit breakers (one before the inverter and one after), and interconnection wiring. There is sometimes also a transformer after the inverter.

  4. Hi Solar Stars,
    I had to do some research and the internet said that the names of the solar panels are head, shoulders, arms, hands, butt, legs, feet and monkeys nose. Pretty funny:]
