Solar electricity is created by using Photovoltaic (PV) technology by converting solar energy into solar electricity from sunlight. Photovoltaic systems use sunlight to power ordinary electrical equipment like household appliances, computers and lighting. The PV process converts free energy – the most abundant energy source on the planet – directly into solar power.
Renewable Energy is energy that comes from natural resources such as the geothermal heat (earth internal heat), sun, wind and water. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation.
