A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.
The oldest solar power plant in the world is the 354-megawatt (MW) Solar Energy Generating Systems thermal power plant in California. [7] The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project in the Mojave Desert , 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Las Vegas , with a gross capacity of 392 MW. [ 8 ]
