THE QUESTION
Do solar panels attract lightning?
WHAT WE FOUND
Ebong said solar panels absorb sunlight which then, in turn, can create energy.
"A majority of a solar cell is made from silicone," Ebong said. "It absorbs electromagnetic waves with sunlight."
According to the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, 95% of solar panels sold are made of silicone, something Panovich said doesn't attract lightning.
"There really isn't something that would cause them to get hit by lightning," Panovich explained. "The only problem is they are on the roof and are attached to your electrical system, just like your starlight or cable."
