Solar power
Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.
Factcheck: 16 misleading myths about solar
The first thing to note is that, despite this negative messaging, solar power is a hugely successful technology that is widely expected to dominate the global electricity system in the coming years.
