SOLAR PHOTOVOTAIC (PV)

Solar energy harnesses the natural energy radiated by the sun to produce either electricity or heat. This energy can be used in any number of applications, including Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels which use a combination of special cells to turn sunlight into electricity. Solar Thermal- Heat from the sun is used to heat water through glass panels which are installed on roofs, known as solar collectors which capture heat from the sun (solar thermal energy) as opposed to light.
