Direct Electricity Generation from the Sun
This method converts sunlight directly into electricity. The most commonly used technologies are:
Photovoltaic (PV) Panels: Panels that convert sunlight directly into electricity. They are used in rooftop systems, agricultural areas, and industry.
Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) Systems: These systems concentrate sunlight onto small areas using lenses or mirrors, providing higher efficiency.
Solar energy technologies are becoming increasingly efficient and cost-effective thanks to advancements in material science and manufacturing techniques.
