Solar Power Energy – It’s Everywhere

2 Solar Energy Solar energy is sustainable light and heat energy from the Sun. Solar Cells convert solar light energy directly to electricity. Solar heat energy can be collected and concentrated using mirrors or reflectors to heat water to steam. The steam is used to generate electrical energy. Solar heat energy can be used directly for hot water or space heating homes or offices.
