Here we talk about the methods that can be used to generate solar power.
Photovoltaic basics
Components of Photovoltaic basics
Sunlight hits solar panels.
Inside them exists a special material that reacts to light.

Generation of electricity: when the sunlight strikes these cells with material silicon, it excites it electrons.
Hence, generate electric current.
Hence, generate electric current.
Energy generated by solar panels is inform of direct current(DC).
Inverter
A device that converts direct current(DC) into alternating current(AC)
Converted AC is then used for powering homes.
Surplus can be sent to grid or stored in battery for later use.

Simply, solar panels converts sunlight into electricity.
When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow.
