Technical FAQs 4

How do solar panels generate usable electricity?

Solar arrays create a usable electricity system for your home by producing direct current (DC) electricity. This is achieved through the photovoltaic effect, where solar cells convert sunlight into electrical energy.

What is solar energy used for?

Solar technologies can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including generating electricity, providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use. There are three main ways to harness solar energy: photovoltaics, solar heating & cooling, and concentrating solar power.

What is solar energy & how does it work?

Solar energy is a very flexible energy technology: it can be built as distributed generation (located at or near the point of use) or as a central-station, utility-scale solar power plant (similar to traditional power plants).

What type of electricity does a solar panel use?

AC is the type of electrical current used when you plug appliances into normal wall sockets. What’s the difference between solar PV panels and solar thermal panels? Solar PV panels generate electricity, as described above, while solar thermal panels generate heat.
