Solar energy is the most prevalent source of sustainable energy on this planet. The amount of energy from our sun that hits our world every ninety minutes is enough to power our civilization for an entire year! Solar panels work by converting the light radiation from the sun to Direct Current (DC) electricity through a reaction inside the silicon layers of the solar panel.
