Solar energy is the energy from sunlight. when the light from the sun's radiation is converted to electricity, it is called photovoltaic system. Similarly, the heat from the sun can also be converted and harnessed to be used for water heating. This is called solar thermal. Solar energy is a potential form of renewable energy which is obtained when light and heat are emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
Solar energy is very useful for both urban and rural electrification. Solar energy is a very good alternative source of electricity in the rural areas because most rural areas are not connected to the national grid.
It is now expedient for us to harness the free energy from sunlight as an alternative source of power supply in our towns and villages.
The major components of solar photovoltaic system are: solar batteries, solar panels, charge controllers and inverters.
let us go ahead and utilize the solar system.
