Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into direct current (DC) power using photovoltaic (PV) cells. 

The panels contain layers of semiconductor material, usually silicon, which absorbs photons from sunlight. This process excites electrons, creating an electrical current. The generated DC electricity is then converted into alternating current (AC) using an inverter, making it compatible with household appliances and the electrical grid. 

Any excess energy can either be stored in a battery system for later use or sent back to the grid, potentially earning energy credits through net metering programs.

Installing solar panels offers multiple benefits, including lower electricity bills, reduced dependence on fossil fuels, and environmental sustainability. 

By generating power from the sun, homeowners and businesses can cut their energy costs significantly, especially in areas with high sunlight exposure. 

Many governments and local authorities offer financial incentives, rebates, and tax credits to encourage solar adoption. 

Additionally, solar energy reduces carbon emissions, helping combat climate change while increasing property value due to the growing demand for energy-efficient homes.

The cost of solar panels depends on several factors, including system size, panel efficiency, installation complexity, and local incentives. 

On average, a residential solar panel system can cost between $5,000 and $15,000 after rebates and tax credits. Commercial solar installations tend to be larger and more expensive but offer greater long-term savings. 

While upfront costs can be significant, financing options such as solar loans, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and leasing arrangements are available to make solar energy more accessible.
