Determining the most efficient wavelength of light would allow us to improve solar panel efficiency and make panels more cost-effective and desirable for adoption by the general public. It is related to the photoelectric effect, a phenomenon by which electrons are ejected from a conducting material when light shines on it. Albert Einstein. . investigated the impact of filtered sunlight or monochromatic LEDs on PV ce l performance. This work addresses this gap using a 1-D model to investigate the impact of different wavelengths of sunlight n the performance. . Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy by capturing photons, tiny packets of light energy, and transforming them into an electric current. 6 million kilometers), only a fraction of this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere. The relation between energy (E) of light (photons) and wavelength (lambda) is given the energy of the incident photons is inversely proportional to their wavelengths.
