Solar Power Generation
INTRODUCTION
Solar technologies rely on either photovoltaic panels or mirrors that can concentrate solar radiation in order to change sunlight into electrical energy. This energy can be stored in batteries or used to generate electricity.
“The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's energy consumption for a full year.” —ENERGY.GOV
