solar power technology

Solar power technology harnesses energy from the sun to generate electricity or heat. It primarily uses solar panels, composed of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity. When sunlight strikes these cells, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. Solar power systems can be installed on rooftops or in large fields and can provide clean, renewable energy for homes, businesses, and even the grid. There are also solar thermal systems that use sunlight to heat water or air for residential or industrial use. This technology helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
