Solar power is a process where energy from the sun is absorbed by photovoltaic (PV) panels, which creates an electric field, causing electricity to flow. Go to SciTechDaily.com to read about how solar power is contributing to innovation. Another method for creating solar energy is concentrated solar power (CSP), which uses the thermal energy of the sun rather than the electrical energy to create solar power. The use of solar power is predicted to grow significantly in the coming years.
