What is Solar Power ?
Solar power is Renewable Source of electricity and heat that is derived from the sun.
The sun emits energy in the form of slar radition and technology like solar cells allso called PHOTOVOLTAIC or PV CELLS convert the sun's light in to usable enargy
Solar cells are made of CEMICONDUCTOR materials similar to those found in computer chips.
when the sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms.At the electrons flow through the cell,they generate electricity .
Photovoltaic power station and solar thermal power plants exist on a much larger scale. when built at utility scale both systems can provide large amounts power to the electric grid.
Solar thermal power plants use mirrors instead of solar cells to turn the suns enargy into concentrated heat source
the heat is used to boil water and to drive a steam turbine that generates electricity in large quantities.whether powering individual homes and buildings or solar thermal power plants .
Solar enargy is an inexhaustible vertually pollution free fuel source.
