What are solar technologies?

Solar technologies are systems and devices that capture energy from the sun and convert it into usable forms such as electricity or heat. The most common solar technologies include photovoltaic panels, which generate electricity, and solar thermal systems, which produce heat for water or space heating. These technologies are used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower energy costs. As solar technology advances, it becomes more efficient and accessible, helping drive the global transition to renewable energy.
