Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from into , either directly using (PV) or indirectly using. Concentrated solar power systems use or mirrors and systems to focus a large area of sunlight to a hot spot, often to drive a.

Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. The photovoltaic effect is commercially used for electricity generation and as photosensors. In 1989, the German Research Ministry initiated the first ever program to finance PV roofs (2200 roofs). Module performance is generally rated under standard test conditions (STC): of 1,000 , solar of 1.

“Storage” refers to technologies that can capture electricity, store it as another form of energy (chemical, thermal, mechanical), and then release it for use when it is needed. Electrical energy is used to pump water uphill into a reservoir when energy demand is low.

Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers. Traditionally, the distribution systems would only operate as simple distribution lines where the electricity from the would. Electricity is delivered at a frequency of either 50 or 60 Hz, depending on the region.

Arrays of solar cells are used to make solar modules that generate a usable amount of direct current (DC) from sunlight. In 1839, at age 19, he built the world's first photovoltaic cell in his father's laboratory. Adjusting for inflation, it cost $96 per watt for a solar module in the mid-1970s. Process improvements and a very large boost in production have brought that figure down more than 99%, to 30¢ per watt in 2018 and as low as 20¢ per watt in 2020. Solar cell efficiency may be broken down into reflectance efficiency, thermodynamic efficiency, charge carrier separation efficiency and conductive efficiency.
