This project for 2024 aims to capture the Science and Technology relating to Solar Power systems. Two basic questions will be addressed:

1) What is Solar Power? and

2) How Does Solar Work? - especially in developing countries with infrastructure limitations.

Photovoltaics is the conversion of particles of light into electricity. Solar panels are usually made from several units of PV cells made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, that form an electrical circuit. When sunlight is captured, electrons are released and captured in the form of an electric current.

A Photovoltaic Power Station, also known as a solar park or farm, is a large-scale photovoltaic system (PV system) designed to supply power into the national electricity grid. Unlike distributed solar panels on buildings, photovoltaic plants supply electricity at the utility level.
