Solar Power - Page 19

Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity or heat. This process can be achieved through various technologies, primarily solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that convert sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels, and solar thermal systems that utilize sunlight to heat a fluid, which can then produce electricity or provide direct heating. Solar power is a renewable and clean energy source, contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. It is increasingly utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, benefiting from advancements in technology that enhance efficiency and decrease costs.
