1. Solar power generation uses the natural energy of the sun to generate electricity. Specifically, solar panels capture certain wavelengths of solar radiation and convert it into electricity for homes, calculators, etc.

2. Photovoltaic cells in solar panels cause the reaction between photons and electrons on the atomic scale. When photons (light) collide with electrons, electrons bounce up. The electrons are then captured and directed into available electricity.

3. Photovoltaic cells are usually made of different types of silicon.

4. The sun takes 8 minutes to reach the earth, and it takes a few seconds to make contact with your solar panel.

5. Most solar panels produce 8 to 10 kilowatts of energy per square foot.

6. You can use solar power to run air conditioners and water heaters. This is a cheaper, safer, and more environmentally friendly solution.

7. When the sun shines, you can use a special battery as a backup for the solar panel system. However, most modern solar modules use net metering (a system connected to your city’s grid can measure the difference between the energy fed back to the grid and the energy you use from the grid). In order to control energy shortage, net metering is a more convenient and cheaper method than storing too much solar energy in batteries.

8. Solar panels do not need direct sunlight to generate electricity. However, direct sunlight produces the most energy.

9. Solar power generation is one of the cleanest, most sustainable, and renewable resources in the world.

10. In addition to the pollution in the panel manufacturing process, solar power generation does not produce pollution.

11. Solar power generation does not produce any noise pollution.
