Question

State briefly how the sun’s energy can be used to generate power.

Answer 1

Solar photovoltaic systems and solar collectors are being used for powering.

Solar cells: They are also known as photovoltaic cells. They consist of thin wafers of silicon and gallium semiconductors. Solar cells transfer energy from the sun’s radiation into electricity. Solar panels, made up of several cells, may generate significant amounts of energy and power. Solar cells are commonly used in rural, forest, hilly and desert locations for lighting, railway signalling and rural telecommunication systems.
