Solar energy is energy from the sun that can be converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar photovoltaics, also called PV's, are machines that convert sunlight into electricity using thin metallic plates that transform the heat from the sun into usable electricity to power necessities. PV's are used to convert sunlight into electricity.
