solar power
Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun through photovoltaic cells, converting sunlight directly into electricity. Its main functions include generating power for residential, commercial, and industrial use, and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Technological features of solar power systems involve solar panels, inverters, batteries, and sometimes solar trackers. Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert it into DC electricity, which is then transformed into usable AC electricity by inverters. Batteries store excess energy for use during cloudy days or at night. Solar trackers enhance efficiency by following the sun's path. Applications range from powering homes and businesses to charging electric vehicles and providing energy to remote locations.
