Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, initially developed in the 1960s for space exploration, has evolved into a reliable and efficient solution for commercial and industrial energy needs. Today, this mature technology is widely deployed on rooftops to generate electricity for a variety of applications. Here’s how the process works:

1. Installation and Orientation: Solar PV modules are strategically installed on building rooftops to maximize exposure to sunlight throughout the day.
2. Conversion of Solar Energy: When sunlight hits the PV modules, it is converted into Direct Current (DC) electricity.
3. Inversion to Usable Power: The DC electricity flows through cables to an inverter, a device that converts it into Alternating Current (AC) electricity. This AC electricity is compatible with most electrical equipment, including machines, computers, lighting systems, and air conditioning units.
