And no don’t say “cells generate electricity” Yes I know that, but what chemical or whatever process makes it that sunlight is converted to electricity?
I have been wondering this all my life an no matter how much research I do I can’t seem to find the answer, every place just says that some cells inside the panels is what generates electricity, but not how those cells do it

When light hits an atom, it can knock free an electron. This electron will push on other free electrons which will push another and another and another. This act of pushing is called **voltage** and the act of motion is **current**. Both, measured together, is **power.**
Plug it into an inverter and you can turn this rudimentary electricity into something useful.
