Solar Panels

Description

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of many solar cells, usually composed of silicon, which capture solar energy and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity through the photovoltaic effect.

This DC electricity is then typically converted into alternating current (AC) using an inverter, so it can be used in homes, businesses, or fed into the power grid.

Solar panels are commonly installed on rooftops, open land, or integrated into building materials like windows and tiles. They are a key component of renewable energy systems, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
