Solar systems use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used in a variety of ways:

Power source
The electricity generated by solar panels can be used directly as a power source.

Backup power
The electricity can be stored in batteries as a backup power source in case of a power outage.

Water heating
A solar water heater can replace a conventional water heater and save 70–80% on electricity or fuel bills.

Remote power
Solar power systems can generate energy in remote locations where it may be too expensive or impossible to run power lines.

Portable solar fan
Solar fans can be used to provide efficient cooling during hot
