Solar Energy Technologies
Solar energy technologies harness sunlight to generate electricity or heat. Photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, commonly seen on rooftops and solar farms. Solar thermal systems use mirrors or collectors to absorb sunlight and produce heat, which can warm water or air for buildings. These methods provide clean, renewable power, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Advancements in materials and design continue to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness, making solar energy an increasingly practical and sustainable option for powering homes, businesses, and communities worldwide.
