Sunpower By Infinity Solar Careers in Pearl River, NY

51 to 200 employees, 2008, Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic modules, are comprised of many PV cells, each of which is made from a semiconductor, such as silicon. When light particles, called photons, hit a solar panel, the semiconductors change at the atomic level and electrons are knocked loose. If the semiconductor is specially treated to form an electric field, the electrons can be captured as an electric current – or in other words, electricity. Several solar panels wired together form an array and are capable of powering a whole house or even an entire city.
