Solar energy, a clean and renewable resource, has seen rapid advancements in recent years. Modern photovoltaic (PV) technologies, such as thin-film cells, perovskite solar cells, and bifacial panels, have improved efficiency while reducing costs. Solar thermal systems are also being used for heating, cooling, and power generation. Applications of solar energy are widespread, from rooftop installations and large-scale solar farms to powering microgrids in remote areas. Integration with energy storage solutions enables round-the-clock supply, enhancing reliability. Solar energy not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels but also supports sustainable development, making it a key driver in the global energy transition.
