What is solar energy?

Solar energy is, simply, energy provided by the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation, which makes the production of solar electricity possible.

Electricity can be produced directly from photovoltaic, PV, cells. (Photovoltaic literally means “light” and “electric.”) These cells are made from materials which exhibit the “photovoltaic effect” i.e. when sunshine hits the PV cell, the photons of light excite the electrons in the cell and cause them to flow, generating electricity.

A photovoltaic system converts the sun's radiation into usable electricity. It comprises the solar array and the balance of system components. PV systems may be built in various configurations:
• Grid-connected optionally using a battery storage
• Off-grid without battery (array-direct)
• Off-grid with battery storage, optionally converting to AC .
PV systems range from small, roof-top mounted or building-integrated systems with capacities from a few to several tens of kilowatts, to large utility-scale power stations of hundreds of megawatts. Nowadays, most PV systems are connected to the electrical grid, while stand-alone or off-grid systems only account for a small portion of the market.

Grid-connected solar photovoltaics (PV) is the fastest growing energy technology in the world, with 50% annual increases in cumulative installed capacity.. This translates into 1.5 million homes with rooftop photovoltaics feeding into the electricity grid worldwide.
