Solar power - Wikipedia
Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.

How Does Solar Work? - Department of Energy
There are two main types of solar energy technologies: photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP). You're likely most familiar with PV, which is utilized in solar panels. When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel.

Homeowner’s Guide to Solar - Department of Energy
Solar projects are making it easier for Americans to choose solar energy to power their homes. Since 2008, hundreds of thousands of solar panels have been installed across the country as more and more Americans choose solar energy for their daily lives.

Solar energy | Definition, Uses, Examples, Advantages, & Facts - Britannica
Solar energy is radiation from the Sun that is capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The total amount of solar energy incident on Earth is vastly in excess of the world’s energy requirements and could satisfy all future energy needs if suitably harnessed.

Solar Energy: Advantages, Disadvantages, and Outlook
Solar energy converts sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells or solar thermal systems. Its main advantages include zero emissions and solar costs are now well below those of new coal and natural gas plants.
