Unveiling the secrets of solar energy The magical journey from cosmic light to green electricity

Solar energy: From the sun to our daily lives

Solar energy, an increasingly familiar term in everyday conversation, actually encompasses extensive scientific principles and technological innovations. To gain more insight, let's investigate how solar energy collects energy from the sun and converts it directly into usable form for human use.

At first, it is necessary to comprehend where solar energy comes from. Our sun is at the center of our solar system and undergoes continuous nuclear fusion reactions within, with hydrogen nuclei (protons) colliding at extreme temperatures and pressures inside its core in order to form helium nuclei while emitting large amounts of energy that radiate outward as light and heat, eventually reaching Earth in the form of photons.

So how do we convert photons from the sun into energy that we can use? This involves solar energy conversion processes - most significantly through photovoltaic effect.

Photovoltaic effect can be described simply: when photons (particles of light) hit certain materials, they excite electrons which in turn generate current. Solar panels use this principle to convert solar energy into electrical energy, typically made out of semiconductor materials that interact with light causing electrons from within them to release and create currents of electricity. When sunlight strikes these panels, photons interact with atoms within these materials releasing electrons which create currents within.

However, solar panels typically generate direct current (DC). To use our electrical devices with ease and efficiently, however, most require alternating current (AC). Therefore, an inverter must also be present between solar panels and electrical devices in order to convert DC into AC current.

With advances in technology, solar panels have emerged as an eco-friendly method of energy collection that's convenient and effective. Not only are they ideal for homes, schools and hospitals but they can also power remote areas and emerging fields like cars and drones.
