Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.

Because solar panels rely on sunlight, they only generate electricity during the daytime when sunlight is shining on them. If it is cloudy, they are less effective and if it is night time,

Solar power works by converting energy from the sun into power. There are two forms of energy generated from the sun for our use – electricity and heat. Both are generated through the use of solar
