Solar Energy is power generated by capturing sunlight, typically using photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert light directly into electricity or solar thermal systems that use sunlight to heat fluids for power generation or heating. It is a leading renewable energy source used in residential rooftop installations, utility-scale solar farms, and off-grid applications, valued for its low operating emissions and decreasing cost per watt. Engineers and technicians in this field design, install, and maintain solar arrays and associated inverters and storage systems.
