 We can convert solar energy directly into

electrical energy using photovoltaic (PV)

cells, commonly called solar cells.

 Photovoltaic cells' thickness are ranging

between human hair and a sheet of paper.
 The Rocky Mountain Institute headquarters
uses photovoltaic panels on the building's
roof to generate electricity.
 Excess energy from solar cells can also be
stored by using the electricity to
decompose water to produce hydrogen
gas, which can be used as a fuel.
