Converting sunlight into electricity is called solar power.

This conversion of sunlight into solar electricity can be done by using Photovoltaics (PV), or with concentrating solar power (CSP).

Solar power can be used almost anywhere where electricity is needed.

Solar power systems have advanced over several years. Today we have solar power systems that are more efficient and Technologically advanced. New solar energy companies are coming up. This is leading to more manufacturing of solar cells and solar panels leading to competition and drop in price and cost of solar panel installation.

Because solar power is clean, green and renewable, more and more households and businesses are using solar energy for to meet their energy requirements and save on electricity bills.

How Solar Power Systems Work

Solar power works by taking energy from the sun, and using solar panels. These solar panels are normally mounted on roofs of buildings to convert sun energy into usable electricity. The electricity thus collected is in the form of DC Current.

A solar inverter is used to convert DC electricity into AC (alternating current) electricity. AC electricity is then passed to an electric grid.
