Solar electricity, also known as photovoltaic (PV) electricity, is generated by converting sunlight into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels consist of photovoltaic cells made of semiconductor materials, typically silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it creates an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow. This electricity can be used to power homes, businesses, and even entire grids. Solar energy is abundant, clean, and renewable, making it an attractive option for reducing dependence on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, in solar farms, or integrated into various structures.
