In a solar cell, the energy absorbed from sunlight (or other light sources) causes tiny, negatively charged electrons to be knocked loose from silicon atoms. The electrons flow through the material, generating electricity. This phenomenon is known as the photovoltaic effect. However, you need highly purified silicon to manufacture solar cells and this is where chlorine chemistry … Continued
