make solar power9 What is in copper?
Posion Oak asked:


Ok I was reading on how to make a solar cell and it said that basically all you do is heat a half sheet of copper flashing, heat it, and set it in the sun and it produces energy. I think when you use a potato to power a light bulb you use copper also, so what is in copper that does this
oh yeah I think we learnined that in science class a few months ago ^_X

    a penny is made out of copper as well for and example/ HERE in U. S.

    You were misinformed. You can make a solar heater out of a copper mirror, and warm water, but not a solar voltaic cell to generate electricity, which requires a complicated manufacturing process.

    There’s nothing in Copper except its molecules.
    These are ‘tightly’ packed together giving the conduction of heat (and electricity), a very easy ‘Pathway’ for them to pass.
    Conduction of heat is by the ‘Collision’ of molecules within a solid substance. The closer the molecules are packed, the easier the heat transfer takes place throughout the metal.
