Solar Power

Solar power is the energy harnessed from sunlight using various technologies, primarily photovoltaic cells and solar thermal systems. This renewable energy source converts sunlight into electricity or heat. Photovoltaic systems generate electricity directly by converting sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect, while solar thermal systems capture sunlight to produce heat, which can be used for heating water or generating steam to drive turbines for electricity production. Solar power is considered a clean and sustainable energy source, as it reduces reliance on fossil fuels and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions. It is increasingly utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial applications to provide a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solution.
