Solar Power
How it works??
When the sun shines on “solar cells,” they absorb its energy causing a chemical reaction that generates electricity. The electricity generated by these solar cells – or photovoltaic system – can be used at homes and factories or it can be stored in a battery. This stored energy then can be used at night.
