Solar Power has become a popular and dependable power source with the development and continuous improvement of Photovoltaic (solar electric power) over the last few decades.
How Solar Power works:
Converting Photons to Electrons The solar cells that you see on calculators and satellites are photovoltaic cells or modules (modules are simply a group of cells electrically connected and packaged in one frame). Photovoltaic's, as the word implies (photo = light, voltaic = electricity), convert sunlight directly into electricity. Once used almost exclusively in space, photovoltaic's are used more and more in less exotic ways. They could even power your house.
