What are solar energy systems?

Solar energy systems are technologies designed to capture sunlight and convert it into usable energy, typically electricity or heat. The most common types include photovoltaic (PV) systems, which convert sunlight into electricity, and solar thermal systems, which use sunlight to heat water or air. These systems are used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower energy costs. Solar energy systems are considered environmentally friendly and can significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
