Today, one of the most valuable renewable solar energy sources we have is solar energy , although not everyone knows exactly how it works. Here we explain everything you need to know.Surely you have ever wondered what it is and how energy is obtained from sunlight. Now we will explain how solar energy works and how we can take advantage of it. Currently there are two ways developed to obtain solar energy . One as a source of heat energy for solar thermal energy equipment, and the other as a source of electricity obtained through a photovoltaic solar energy installation. We will talk about this last option. Basically, to get solar energy from sunlight and transform it into electricity that we can take advantage of, we need a photovoltaic solar panel . This panel is responsible for transforming light energy (photons) into electrical energy (electrons), thanks to the groups of cells or solar cells by which they are formed and that transform them. These cells obtain electricity in 12
