Solar photovoltaic energy is a renewable energy source that produces electricity from the sun’s radiation. It comes from a renewable energy source and so its resources are unlimited.
Power production produces no emissions, operating costs are very low and maintenance is simple. Solar power installations use solar modules or panels as generators that capture the solar energy and convert it into electricity. This produces a constant flow of low-voltage electricity.
