Solar Panels - Page 20

Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. Typically made of silicon cells, these panels capture photons from sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity can be used to power homes, businesses, or fed back into the electrical grid. Solar panels are an essential component of solar energy systems and contribute to renewable energy solutions, helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. They can be installed on rooftops, ground mounts, or integrated into building materials, offering versatility in energy generation.
