Sunlight And Solar Energy
• In the form of heat and light, solar energy can cover all our energy needs in a clean, versatile manner.
• Photovoltaics, or Solar panels with silicon cells, convert light into electricity as the photon rays of the sun charge up the cells.
• Solar-thermal power plants use the heat of the sun along with lenses to focus the sunlight in a concentrated place, to heat water or other substances. This can be used for the hot water needs of households, or to drive a turbine for generating electricity.

Organic Solar Cells
An organic solar cell is a type of photovoltaic that uses organic electronics—a branch that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules for light absorption and charge transport to produce electricity from sunlight using photovoltaic effect. Organic solar cells are cheap, re...
Now Solar Tech Can Power Smart Devices Indoors.
We usually think of solar, or photovoltaic (PV), cells fixed to roofs, converting sunlight into electricity, but bringing that technology indoors could further boost the energy efficiency of buildings and energize swaths of wireless smart technologies such as smoke alarms, cameras and
