Last time we talked about Wind Energy, this time, we’ll talk about solar power.
Solar Power or Solar Energy – is an energy that comes from the sun and converts it into electricity.
It is one of the most in-demand types of power sources in the world because its price and size are reachable and portable by many. Some people prefer to use solar power. Aside from it is very helpful to light all the corners of their houses, sometimes they don’t have to worry about the monthly electric bill as long as they get full sunlight for the majority of their day.
Why do many people love to use solar power? How can light from the sun give power to all the appliances or devices at home, schools, hotels, hospitals, or any establishments?
Let’s find out how this amazing solar power work.
Step 1: A solar panel or also known as solar photovoltaic (PV) is made of a layer of silicon cells, a metal frame, and a glass casing that absorb the radiation emitted from the sun called “solar radiation or electromagnetic radiation.” It will produce electricity called Direct Current (DC).
Step 2: Since DC electricity is not suitable for the devices/appliances, the inverter will convert the Direct Current (DC) electricity into Alternating Current (AC) electricity which usually means some efficiency lost.
Step 3: The AC electricity goes to outlets where your devices/appliances are plugged in. Others use a solar battery to store the excess energy and use it at night.
Some solar panels need an inverter but those who need to just power smaller electronic devices inverters are highly discouraged.
There are hassle-free, foldable, and very convenient to use panels. Here are the best examples, check the link below.

While solar panels are clean and have no moving parts, and the sunlight is the largest source of energy received by Earth. Solar panels do not last forever, they degrade yearly. Eventually, the owner will need to decide if they will replace the panels or add them to their system. Solar panels work best when most of it is exposed to direct sun. When a cloud, snow, or something covers it, it will not be at producing peak power.
