Solar energy harvesting is the process of capturing and converting sunlight into usable energy, typically electricity. This is achieved using devices like solar panels, which contain photovoltaic cells that absorb sunlight and generate electrical current. The energy produced can be used to power homes, businesses, and even electric vehicles. The harvested solar energy can be stored in batteries for later use or fed into the electrical grid. This renewable energy source helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and promotes sustainability. As technology advances, solar energy harvesting continues to become more efficient and accessible.
