Electrical energy obtained from the power of the sun is also known as solar power. The electromagnetic radiation that reaches the earth is converted into electricity by photovoltaic (or PV) systems. The electrical DC voltage generated on the solar cells is fed to an inverter where it is converted into usable alternating current. The advantages of this technology are obvious:
- Solar power is available everywhere and to everyone
- Solar power is an inexhaustible source of energy
- Solar power is renewable, passive, noiseless and emission-free
- Solar power makes you independent
