Naturally, sunlight is the primary source of solar energy. Sunlight is one type of radiation that has energy-carrying photons in it. Photovoltaic cells, commonly referred to as solar panels, use the photovoltaic effect to transform these photons into electrical energy. In addition to weather, location, time of day, and the existence of any obstructions that might hinder sunlight, these variables also affect how successful solar energy systems are.
