Solar energy can be harnessed two primary ways: photovoltaics (PVs) are semiconductors that generate electricity directly from sunlight, while solar thermal technologies use sunlight to heat water for domestic uses, to warm buildings, or heat fluids to drive electricity-generating.

Solar and wind are both sources of low-cost variable generation, which act as “ fuel savers ” by cutting the need for often expensive fossil-fuel generation. In addition, solar generates electricity during the daytime – when demand is higher than at night.
