They pass through cables, electrical components (such as inverters), and finally through the batteries of your storage system. At each obstacle or resistance, they release a small amount of their energy – this is when conversion losses occur, similar to the way people lose energy when overcoming obstacles.
Light-induced degradation occurs when the electrical characteristics of crystalline silicon solar cells change when they're exposed to light. Losses range from 0.5% to 1.5% and happen within the first few hours of the new panel's exposure.
When light strikes the surface of a solar cell, some photons are reflected, while others pass right through. Some of the absorbed photons have their energy turned into heat. The remainder have the right amount of energy to separate electrons from their atomic bonds to produce charge carriers and electric current.
