 WHAT IS SOLAR
ENERGY?

• Solar power is energy from

the sun.
• "Solar" is the Latin word for
"sun" and it's a powerful
source of energy.
• Solar panels are used to
convert light from the sun
into electricity that can be
used to power electrical
loads.
WHY DO WE NEED SOLAR
ENERGY?

• Light from the sun is a

renewable energy resource
that provides clean energy,
produced by solar panels.
• The main reason why we
should use solar panels at
home is because, its energy
actually taken from the sun
which means that its natural
and less harmful for our
planet so it could keep our
environment clean.
 HOW DO WE USE SOLAR ENERGY?

• Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic

(or PV) cells. When sunlight hits the
panels, the PV cells produce direct current
electricity.
• Power is converted into usable electricity:
• Electricity flows into the net meter:
• Then, electricity is distributed into homes
to power things like refrigerators, air
conditioners, and other appliances.
• If some solar panels don’t produce
enough energy to satisfy the
requirements, additional power is drawn
from the grid.
