Your panel's 15W rating represents ideal laboratory conditions. In reality, three critical factors determine daily energy harvest: Daily Watt-hours = Panel Wattage × Sun Hours × Efficiency Factor 15W × 4h × 0. 75 = 45Wh/day Enough to charge a 10,000mAh power bank twice!.

Flat solar panels work by using the photovoltaic effect, which is the process that converts sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits the solar cells in the panel, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. This is how energy is captured and transformed for use.
