Solar panels (PV) Off-grid solar power kits generate cheap, green electricity from sunlight Solar panel electricity systems, also known as solar photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells don't need direct sunlight to work – they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting.
The benefits of solar electricity : Cut your electricity bills: sunlight is free, so once you've paid for the initial installation your electricity costs will be reduced.
