Solar panels are devices that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. They are made up of multiple solar cells, usually composed of silicon, which generate an electrical current when exposed to sunlight. This electricity can be used to power homes, businesses, or stored in batteries for later use. Installing solar panels helps reduce reliance on traditional energy sources, lowers electricity bills, and contributes to a cleaner environment by producing renewable energy.
