Solar Photovoltaic (PV)

Solution Pathway

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, often in the form of solar panels, converts sunlight directly into electricity using semiconducting materials. When sunlight hits these materials, it excites electrons, creating an electric current that can be harnessed for power. Solar PV is a cornerstone of renewable energy solutions due to its ability to generate clean, emission-free electricity. It significantly reduces dependence on fossil fuels, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient energy system. To accelerate the adoption of solar PV, we must invest in research and development to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, incentivize solar installations through policy and financial support, and integrate solar energy into the grid to ensure reliable and widespread access to clean energy.
