solar energy
Solar energy is one of the most abundant and sustainable sources of power on Earth. Its main function is to convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells or into heat using solar thermal systems. Technological features of solar energy systems include high-efficiency solar panels, inverters that convert DC to AC power, and batteries for energy storage. These systems can be installed on rooftops or in ground-mounted solar farms. Solar energy applications range from residential and commercial electricity to heating water and even powering space stations. The process is silent, emits no greenhouse gases, and requires minimal maintenance, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for meeting energy needs.
