we used solar panels for 1 year, temp averaged 71 degrees, so we switched to gas. I suppose it depends how much sun you get where you are. we are north of the 49th parallel and solar was inadequate

What kind of energy is being produced by sunlight and solar panels?

Sunlight and photovoltaic (PV) panels (solar panels) produce electricity.Sunlight and a solar thermal collector produce heat by capturing solar radiation. The heat is then used to heat water, heat air, cook food, or heat a fluid that drives a turbine which creates electricity.Photoelectrochemical cells or PECs are solar cells that produce electrical energy or hydrogen in a process similar to the electrolysis of water.
