The sun is one of the most affordable, ready, efficient available and best-known sources of energy of this world. Thanks to the new Technology, we now can transform solar energy into various forms of energy, including electricity.

PV solar energy is the transformation of sunlight into renewable energy (electricity) via the PV effect, which helps achieve this fascinating transformation. 

Electronic components such as photovoltaic cells help in generating electricity, when exposed to the sunlight.

Solar panels are a set of photovoltaic cells connected in series. Several panels put together constitute a PV solar power plant, which can provide electricity to end user via a distribution channel.

The advantages of solar PV energy are diverse in many aspects. From an environmental standpoint, solar energy is an eco-friendly renewable energy. PV solar panels incorporate sensors made from silicon, the second most ample semiconducting element on earth and solar panels are recyclable materials that can be reused after their lifespan.

Free of CO2 emissions, going solar energy means contributing to the limitation or lowering of climate change. It does not produce waste and noise and requires minimum H2O to function.

Faced with escalating hydrocarbon prices, therefore, exploring for an alternative energy is vital for all nations. From an energy-efficient viewpoint, renewable energy hence appears to be an apt alternative for nations with abundant exposure to sunlight, which can contribute to the enhancement of their energy supply for all citizens.

This God given renewable energy if well managed, can be accessible to both remote and rural areas to be used for years.

African nations are blessed with abundant sunshine all year round and enjoy a geographic position conducive to exploiting solar energy for their growing energy needs.
