Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. Below, you can find resources and information on the. . Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for domestic uses, to warm buildings, or heat fluids to drive electricity-generating turbines. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. . Solar cell When sunlight strikes a solar cell, an electron is freed by the photoelectric effect.
