The success for solar panels to have become so famous was because over
time their cost was reduced and efficiency increased. All thanks to Silicon,
which is fundamental in the manufacture of cells.
HOW DOES IT
Solar power is an intermittent source, and the stable and reliable output of a PV

system, whether for a dedicated load or for a grid, is critical from a utility
availability and reliability standpoint. Inverters allow the electricity produced by
the photovoltaic modules to be fed to the load and excess energy to the grid or
storage system.
At an industrial level, to date, it has not yet become what is being sought, as it
is not totally efficient.
At the home level (panels in houses), if there have been good results, with the
help of controllers and accumulators (battery). But keep in mind that the
efficiency depends on the Silicon crystal lattice with which the cell is made, it
can be monocrystalline and polycrystalline.

That is, it absorbs photons of light to release ● They are ecological: None generate

inexhaustible and non-polluting energy. no need to guard their waste once

has ended.
CONCLUSI
ONS
We have already seen that solar energy is a form of
clean, renewable, inexhaustible, sustainable energy,
generates electricity and is free, in addition to the fact
that the useful life expectancy of solar panels can
reach forty years, it is important because it reduces
dependence on fuels fossils and helps conserve
natural resources, so we must apply it to everyday life,
for example: photovoltaic panels that supply energy to
electrical devices and homes, collect solar heat energy
through thermal solar panels and is used in heating
water and spaces or in the cooling of areas in
buildings, among others
