Solar photovoltaic (PV)

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon. When sunlight hits these panels, it excites electrons, generating an electric current. This clean, renewable energy source can power homes, businesses, and devices, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. PV systems can be installed on rooftops or in large solar farms, and their efficiency depends on factors like sunlight availability, panel quality, and orientation. Overall, solar PV is a sustainable way to produce electricity, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy independence.
