12.1 Introduction (ESCQH)
Many people are using solar power as a source of energy for their homes. Solar power can be used to heat water or to supply electricity. Have you ever noticed solar panels on homes and buildings? Have you ever wondered how solar energy is converted to electrical energy? In this chapter, we examine the process that is used to achieve this energy conversion.
