Question

what is solar energy? writes its three characteristics?

Answer 1

Solar cells can be used to generate electricity from sunlight. It is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended specifically to capture energy from sunlight, while the term photovoltaic cell is used when the light source is unspecified.

The two most important utilizations of solar energy are: (1) solar power, which converts solar radiation into electrical energy using semiconductors that exhibit photovoltaic effects (solar photovoltaicpower generation – or PV for short); and (2) solar thermal, which converts solar radiation into heat.
