Solar energy can be converted directly to electricity with photovoltaic (PV) cells. As light strikes the PV cell, it
creates an electrical potential that generates a current of electricity. The sun's energy can also be used to create
heat with solar collectors. Solar collectors harness the sun's energy and turn it into heat to warm water or building
space.
Listed below are various fact sheets and other information sources on the subject of solar energy. Please note that
