About solar energy:
The sun's rays produce two types of energy, solar thermal, which directly converts the sun into heat, and solar photovoltaic, which directly converts radiation into electricity. For these two types of solar energy production, high temperature is less important than the level of sunshine. Not only is solar energy a reliable energy, thanks to its stable and predictable resource: it is also a method of energy production that does not pollute the atmosphere, as it does not require any moving parts or fuel.< /p>

How a photovoltaic installation works:
Solar panels capture sunlight and recover the energy to better transform it into electricity. These are the photovoltaic cells – devices present on the solar panel – which allow the radiation to be directly converted into electrical energy. These cells are made of semiconductor materials that can release their electrons under the action of energy from the sun. The release of these electrons ultimately allows the production of an electric current. The efficiency of a photovoltaic installation depends on several elements, such as the number of hours of sunshine, the seasons, atmospheric conditions and the reflective capacity of the surrounding soil.
