    Solar energy is radiation from the Sun that can be used to produce heat, generate electricity, or cause chemical reactions. Solar collectors transfer solar heat to a fluid for heating purposes, while solar cells directly convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. Solar energy is renewable but converting it to electricity is currently expensive due to the costs of large solar arrays and inefficiencies in light-to-electricity conversion. A solar cell uses the photoelectric effect to change light into electric current, with the first cell built in the 1880s having low efficiency but demonstrating the important principle of generating power from sunlight.

    SOLAR ENERGY
    Radiation from the Sun that can produce heat, generate electricity, or cause chemical reactions. Solar collectors collect solar radiation and transfer it as heat to a carrier fluid. It can then be used for heating. Solar cells convert solar radiation directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect. Solar energy is inexhaustible and nonpolluting, but converting solar radiation to electricity is not yet commercially competitive, because of the high cost of producing large-scale solar cell arrays and the inherent inefficiency in converting light to electricity

    SOLAR CELL

    A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell (PV), is a device that converts light into electric current using the photoelectric effect. The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in the 1880s.[13] Although the prototype selenium cells converted less than 1% of incident light into electricity, both Ernst Werner von Siemens and James Clerk Maxwell recognized the importance of this discovery
