Solar power is harnessed through solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. A PV cell is an electronic device that receives the sun’s light and converts it into electricity. The sun’s light frees the electrons in the PV cell; these electrons carry an electric charge as they move around in the cell. This electric charge is then passed to a battery.
Solar arrays or panels contain a series of PV cells. These panels can then be installed on the roof of a house or wherever you have a high chance of collecting sunlight. The PV cells together absorb a considerable amount of sunlight that is converted into and stored as electricity that can be used for lighting, cooking and many such household activities. The best thing about solar power is that there is no by-product that harms the environment.
