solar technology

Solar technology captures sunlight using solar panels made of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the cells, it excites electrons, creating an electric current. This current is then used to power homes, businesses, or stored in batteries for later use. Solar systems can be grid-connected or standalone, providing a clean, renewable energy source that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. Advances in technology have made solar panels more efficient and affordable, making solar energy a practical and sustainable option for many energy needs.
