Photovoltaic solar panel animation

What is solar energy animation?

The animated video makes use of a minimal design aesthetic mixing 2D motion graphics and some elements of 3D design to explain the solar panel technology. The solar energy animation strikes the right chord between accurate scientific information and an easily understood overview.

What is solar panel technology?

The process of solar panel technology clearly explained as we initially built up a solar cell, using a mixture of 2D and 3D motion graphics. The solar energy animation breaks down all the layers and materials used in a solar cell. Before building up a fuller solar array.

Why should you use solar energy animation?

The solar energy animation strikes the right chord between accurate scientific information and an easily understood overview. The colour pallette throughout ensures the videos reflects the clients brand effectively.

How does a solar cell work?

Each solar cell is made of multiple layers. The top semiconductor is a negative layer, which means the material contains extra electrons. The sun’s energy “shakes” these electrons loose, and these electrons become naturally attracted to the bottom semiconductor layer, which is positively charged.

Who invented solar energy?

Humans have been trying to harness the sun’s energy for most of history, but it was the invention of the first photovoltaic cell by French physicist Edmond Becquerel in 1839 that finally made solar energy possible on a grander scale. The following animated infographic, courtesy of Visual Capitalist, covers the science behind how solar panels work.

How has solar technology changed over the years?

Since then, solar has come a long way. Not only has the cost of producing solar panels dropped like a rock, manufacturers are now routinely pumping out new innovations such as flexible solar cells, ultra-thin cells, and transparent photovoltaic windows.
