Solar panels are pretty expensive, but they are good to save money on electricity. They take something from the sun and do something with it to make it power stuff.

N-type semiconductor A semiconductor type in which the density of holes in the valence band is exceeded by the density of electrons in the conduction band. N-type behaviour is induced by the addition of donor impurities, such as arsenic or phosphorus, to the crystal structure of silicon. In N-type semiconductors, electrons are the majority carriers, and holes are the minority carriers.semiconductorholeelectrondonorimpurities semiconductorelectronmajority carrier holeminority carrier P-type semiconductor A semiconductor type in which the density of electrons in the conduction band is exceeded by the density of holes in the valence band. P-type behaviour is induced by the addition of acceptor impurities, such as boron, to the crystal structure of silicon.
