Final Essay
Solar Energy
Solar energy is something that we have really been looking into in recent years, if for no other reason than to try and find a better way to deal with getting energy without hurting the environment” (Conserve Energy). Solar energy is known as an alternative and renewable, and so today, most of companies fix it on the roofs of the houses. It is more useful and

How it works is as below:
Solar energy is all about converting the energy from the sun into energy that we can use. There are three major ways that we can do this.
Photovoltaic Processes (PV)
Photovoltaic processes happen with PV devices, which take the sunlight and make it into electricity.
PV processes use materials that are known for naturally changing sunlight into electricity, which are known in the science world as semiconductors.
When the sunlight hits these semiconductors, they produce electrons, which are pushed through the device and make a current.
PV devices are still in development at this point in time; some rays of light, including UV and infrared, cannot be utilized by PV devices. This can be problematic when the sun is not shining brightly and these are the main rays that are being produced. (Conserve Energy)
Solar energy has some pros and cons as below:
