Answer:

Here's Your Answer

Explanation:

Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun's core and fuse to create a helium atom. This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy.

Arrays of photovoltaic cells are normally used to collect the energy from the sun and convert it into electricity.
