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.

The power (in watts) of the solar panel is the voltage (in volts) multiplied by the current (in amperes), and depends both on the amount of light and on the electrical load connected to the panel. Each module is rated by its output power under standard test conditions and hence the on field output power might vary. Solar panel conversion efficiency, typically in the 20% range, is reduced by the accumulation of dust, grime, pollen, and other particulates on the solar panels, collectively referred to as. Early developmentsIn 1839, the ability of some materials to create an electrical charge from light exposure was first observed by the French physicist.

Solar power accounted for an estimated 15% of electricity production in Germany in 2024, up from 1. Germany has been among the world's top PV installer for several years, with total installed capacity over 100 gigawatts (GW) in 2025, up from 81. During the in the United States, oil prices decreased and the US removed most of its policies that supported its solar industry. Some companies have collapsed since 2008, facing harsh competition from imported solar panels. Some were taken over like • • • Germany introduced its in 2000 and it later became a model for solar industry policy support in other countries.

Although solar energy refers primarily to the use of solar radiation for practical ends, all types of renewable energy, other than geothermal power and tidal power, are derived either directly or indirectly from the Sun. Solar energy is the from the 's and , which can be harnessed using a range of such as , (including ) and. Sunlight has influenced building design since the beginning of architectural history. Advanced solar architecture and urban planning methods were first employed by the Development of a solar-powered car has been an engineering goal since the 1980s. Early commercial adaptationIn 1878, at the Universal Exposition in Paris, successfully demonstrated a solar steam engine.
