Solar cells work by converting light energy into electrical energy. The "starting energy" is the incoming light energy from the sun, which is measured in units of photons (particles of light) or wavelengths of light.
The "finishing energy" is the electrical energy output of the solar cell. This is measured in units like Watts (power) or Amperes (current).
A solar cell calculator helps you determine the potential output of a solar cell based on:
* The amount of sunlight it receives (insolation): This depends on location, time of day, and weather.
* The size and efficiency of the solar cell: The larger the cell, and the more efficient it is, the more power it can generate.
In short, the "energy" in a solar cell calculator isn't a single, fixed value, but rather a series of calculations based on the factors mentioned above.
