Solar renewable energy

Solar renewable energy, also known as photovoltaic renewable energy, harnesses the power of the sun to produce electricity. Solar cells convert the sun’s energy into electricity through semiconductors. Although a complicated technology, solar PV can be deployed in compact panels, turning roofs into the perfect energy-generating platform.

In the right environment, photovoltaic energy is predictable and, for this reason, solar renewable energy is popular in southern Europe. This form of Energy is also the mostly well known in Nigeria which is currently witnessing a gradual growth in the solar energy utilization and acceptance within the country.
