Renewable energy has become a popular alternative to traditional power sources, with solar energy being one of the most accessible and widely adopted options. The process involves harnessing the power of the sun and converting it into electricity through the use of solar panels. 

These panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that are made of silicon and are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. 

These PV cells are then housed within a protective panel which can be installed either on the roof or on the ground. The panels themselves are designed to efficiently collect as much sunlight as possible, regardless of weather conditions, and transmit it to the cells for conversion into usable energy. 

This ultimately reduces a household or business’s dependence on more traditional energy sources and can lead to significant savings on electricity bills over the long-term.
