Solar energy technology

Solar energy technology captures sunlight using solar panels made of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells convert sunlight directly into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the cells, it excites electrons, creating an electric current that can power homes, businesses, or be stored in batteries. Solar energy is a clean and renewable source, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Modern solar systems often include inverters to convert the direct current (DC) produced into usable alternating current (AC). Overall, solar technology offers an efficient, sustainable way to generate electricity from natural sunlight.
