Solar energy is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. It is harnessed using various technologies like solar panels, solar thermal systems, and concentrated solar power.

Solar panels, made up of photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits these cells, they generate a flow of electricity.

Solar energy is renewable, abundant, and environmentally friendly. It reduces electricity bills, helps combat climate change, and creates jobs in the renewable energy sector.

Solar energy can be harnessed almost anywhere, but the amount of sunlight your location receives affects its efficiency. Areas with more sunlight have higher solar potential.

Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with many manufacturers offering warranties for this duration. Proper maintenance can extend their lifespan.

The cost of a solar energy system varies depending on factors like system size, location, and incentives. Prices have been decreasing, and many governments offer incentives to make solar more affordable.

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, although their output is reduced compared to sunny days. They continue to produce power as long as there is daylight.

Yes, solar energy can be stored using batteries. Solar battery storage systems store excess energy generated during the day for use during periods of low sunlight or at night.

There are various financing options available for solar, including loans, leases, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and government incentives like tax credits and rebates.
