Solar energy refers to the radiant light and heat emitted by the Sun that can be harnessed and converted into usable forms of energy. It is a renewable and abundant source of power that does not produce harmful emissions or contribute to climate change. Solar energy is captured through the use of photovoltaic (PV) cells or solar thermal collectors.
Solar PV, short for Solar Photovoltaic, refers to the technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar panels, are made up of semiconductor materials, typically silicon, that can absorb photons from sunlight and release electrons.
When sunlight hits the surface of a solar panel, it excites the electrons in the semiconductor material, allowing them to move freely. This movement of electrons creates an electric current, which can be captured and harnessed as usable electricity. The solar panels are connected to an inverter, which converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that is suitable for use in homes, businesses, and the power grid.
