Photons Anthem: A Sung Story of Solar Power! 🎶

Attempting something different... Lyrics: Have you ever wondered, how photons spend their day? These massless, priceless, non-luminous, packets of energy! Refract, bend, then interfere, before she takes a flight, To meet her solar-mate on Earth, at the speed of light! Three times ten to the power of eight! When photons hit the panel, electrons start to race! From AC to DC, electrons meet their fate! On a one-way track, like a subatomic marching parade. Photons to power, it happens every way, Solar cells - how do you spend your day? When photons hit the panels, photogeneration’s begun, But it could pass through or reflect off - unless it meets Silicon, Or even Gallium Nitride, perhaps Cadmium Telluride, Because we need photovoltaic cells - their band-gap is just right! Three times ten to the power of eight! When photons hit the panel, electrons start to race! From AC to DC, electrons meet their fate! On a one-way track, like a subatomic marching parade. Photons to power, it happens every way, Solar cells - how do you spend your day? When photons spark electrons - DC starts to flow, A one-directional stream of charge, in case you don’t know! The inverter then flips it, and AC comes out to sway, Alternating back-and-fourth, to keep our gadgets at play! Three times ten to the power of eight! When photons hit the panel, electrons start to race! From AC to DC, electrons meet their fate! On a one-way track, like a subatomic marching parade. Photons to power, it happens every way, Solar cells - how do you spend your day? Though photons are neutral, they’ll have low-energy days, Where they can’t give their maximum, unlike their usual ways. So, Shockley and Queisser called this, power conversion efficiency, They said, “One third, is all we claim, for solar energy!” Three times ten to the power of eight! When photons hit the panel, electrons start to race! From AC to DC, electrons meet their fate! On a one-way track, like a subatomic marching parade. Photons to power, it happens every way, Solar cells - that’s how you spend your day! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Facebook - vt.physics Instagram - vt.physics Partnership Enquiries - [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------- #solarpanel #sciencesongs #photons #physics #learning
