Energy Sources Visualization

Solar energy is harnessed from the sun's radiation using photovoltaic cells or solar thermal systems. It's a renewable, clean energy source that produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation.

How It Works

Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the semiconductor material in the cells, it knocks electrons loose, allowing them to flow freely and generate an electric current.

Advantages

Solar energy is abundant, renewable, and produces no air pollution or greenhouse gases. Solar panels have no moving parts and require minimal maintenance once installed.
