In their own words

Solar radiation from the sun that is capable of producing heat, causing a chemical reaction, and producing electricity is called Solar Energy. It is the most powerful and vast source of Energy. The total Solar Energy incident on the earth's surface is enormously greater than the world's current and future Energy requirements. It has the potential to satisfy all future Energy needs if it is properly harnessed. Therefore, Solar Energy is used to generate electricity in the present day. Solar Energy is expected to be the most attractive renewable Energy source. Solar Energy has an inexhaustible supply and it is non-polluting as in the non-renewable sources like coal, natural gas, and petroleum. There is a particular process of producing electricity from Solar Energy. To generate Solar electricity, photovoltaic cells are used. When light strikes on these cells, they generate a small electric voltage. The photovoltaic cells are constructed using metal and semiconductors or two semiconductors. The electric voltage generates when the light strikes the junction of the metal and the semiconductor or two semiconductors. One photovoltaic cell can produce about two watts of power. In Solar Energy plants, many photovoltaic cells are used to generate Solar power. A large number of cells are connected in a panel. From a Solar panel, hundreds of thousands of kilowatts of power are generated. Thus, Solar Energy is converted into electricity using a huge number of photovoltaic cells. The sun is a very powerful Energy source, and the sunlight is the largest source of Energy received by the earth till now. But due to the huge radial spreading of the radiations from the distant sun, the intensity of the sunlight at the earth's surface is quite low. Moreover, the earth's atmosphere and clouds add to the loss of intensity of sunlight. 50% visible light, 45% of infrared radiation, and small amounts of ultraviolet and other forms of electromagnetic radiations are present in the sunlight, which reaches the earth’s surface. Earth receives 200,000 times of the world's total daily electric generating capacity in the form of Solar Energy. Although Solar Energy is free, the huge costs of its collection, conversion, and storage of Energy make it difficult to use properly. Solar radiation can also be converted into thermal Energy or electrical Energy.
