Definition: The sun emits radiant rays that can be harnessed to produce electricity as an alternative and, renewable source of power known as solar energy. During the process, solar panels collect and convert the sun's radiation to electricity that is then stored in battery cells, for usable power. Solar power is considered a green source of energy and though solar technology is costly to install, the initial investment is quickly recovered over a few years.
