Abstract

Solar energy is a non-depleting and eco-friendly source of renewable energy that is generated through the use of solar panels, which convert the energy from the sun into electricity. In the current world, we need electricity supply constantly but produced electricity cannot meet the world’s demand. Even in our country, the situation is much more crucial. The government attempts to handle this situation by shedding loads, which has a detrimental impact on industrial, commercial, and educational institutions. In this paper, we provided a solution to produce renewable energy through photovoltaic solar panels that are environmentally friendly. The paper also provides the working process of solar panels, how solar panels meet load demand and reduce the cost of electricity bills, and future trends and aspects of solar energy.
