What is a solar panel?

A solar panel, also known as a PV panel, generates electricity from solar energy. Solar panels are used to generate sustainable energy. Although expensive to purchase initially, solar panels pay for themselves over the long term.

Solar panels are often used in places without access to the power grid. For example, solar panels can be found on calculators, on boats and along motorways.
