Abstract

Solar energy which is a combination of light and heat is produced by sun. This energy moves from sun and reaches the earth where human collects it through solar collectors and convert it into any desirable form of energy. To convert sunlight into electricity solar panels, photoelectric technologies and thermoelectric technologies etc are used. This solar energy is running solar heater to supply hot water in homes. Through photovoltaic cell installed on the roof of the house energy is captured and stored on batteries to use throughout the day. These solar cells consist of silicon material and an electric field across the silicon drives the electrons away from the holes into a conducting metal material, where they then flow as current. Still work is going on that how can we utilize solar energy for different purposes.
