1 · Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage. Below, you can find resources and information on the basics of solar radiation, photovoltaic and
Photovoltaic cells are the part of the solar panel that reacts to the sun to create a positive and negative charge that creates a voltage that moves around the cell. When the cells generate voltage and current, the panels force this current into a wire that feeds into the batteries or directly into a converter.
