Harness the power of the sun with Solar Panels and get free energy

Put simply, solar cells convert the energy of the sun into electricity. The scientific process of the conversion is called Photovoltaic, and a photovoltaic (PV) or solar cell is the basic building block of a solar electric system. A generic term of Solar Panels is also used, but this could either be describing a panel used to produce electricity or used to generate hot water.

Solar cells or Photovoltaics (PV) is an important energy technology for many reasons. Few power-generation technologies have as little impact on the environment as photovoltaics. It will quietly generates electricity from light, produces no air pollution or hazardous waste. It also doesn't require a fuel source to be transported or burnt. Its energy source, sunlight, is free and abundant.

The cells are:

• Highly reliable and needs little maintenance.
• Cost little to build and operate.
• Virtually no environmental impact.
• Modular and thus flexible in terms of size and applications.

In today's world PV systems are used to generate electricity to pump water, light up the night, activate switches, charge batteries, supply power to the utility grid, and much more. You might have noticed the small PV systems attached to emergency telephones along the highways.

Systems can also be found in the most isolated spots on Earth as well as in the heart of some of our largest cities. And every place in between.
