Solar PV modules (top) and two solar hot water panels (bottom) mounted on rooftops. Solar panels absorb the sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity or heat. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connect assembly of typically 6x10 photovoltaic solar cells.

Solar power is arguably the cleanest, most reliable form of renewable energyavailable, and it can be used in several forms to help power your home or business.Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun.
