As electricity costs continue to rise and environmental concerns grow, more people are turning to solar energy as a smart, long-term solution. But what exactly are solar panels, and how do they power your home or business?
What Are Solar Panels?
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. Each panel is made up of smaller units called photovoltaic (PV) cells, usually made from silicon. These cells absorb sunlight and generate electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.
When sunlight hits the cells, it knocks electrons loose from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. This electricity is in the form of direct current (DC), which is then passed through a solar inverter to convert it into alternating current (AC) — the type of electricity used in your home or office.
How Solar Power Works — Step by Step
Sunlight hits the solar panels
Mounted on rooftops or open ground, the panels absorb sunlight during the day.
PV cells generate electricity
The sunlight is converted into DC electricity.
Inverter converts DC to AC
A solar inverter transforms this into usable AC power for your home or business.
Power is used or stored
The electricity powers your appliances, and any excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back to the grid.
Why Should You Consider Solar Panels?
Save Money on Electricity
Solar panels can drastically reduce your monthly energy bills, often paying for themselves within a few years.
Earn Government Subsidies
In India, homeowners can receive subsidies of up to ₹1,08,000 under national solar schemes, making solar more affordable than ever.
Increase Property Value
Homes with solar installations are seen as more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, boosting resale value.
Low Maintenance & Long Life
Once installed, solar panels require very little maintenance and can last 25+ years with consistent performance.
Eco-Friendly Energy
Solar energy is renewable, clean, and sustainable — helping reduce your carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
