Technical FAQs 4

Where does solar energy come from?

Solar energy comes from the limitless power source that is the sun. It is a clean, inexpensive, renewable resource that can be harnessed virtually everywhere. Any point where sunlight hits the Earth's surface has the potential to generate solar power. Solar power is renewable by nature.

What is solar energy?

Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, and the U.S. has some of the richest solar resources in the world.

What is a solar panel system?

A solar panel system consists of multiple solar panels arranged to capture sunlight and convert it into usable electricity. These panels efficiently harness solar energy.

What is solar energy & how does it work?

Solar energy is a very flexible energy technology: it can be built as distributed generation (located at or near the point of use) or as a central-station, utility-scale solar power plant (similar to traditional power plants).
