Solar Power How It Works by Anita Van Wyk
... 1.) Solar energy works by converting the sun's rays into electricity with the use of solar panels to supply power to the appliances use in our homes. 2.) Solar energy works by converting the sun's rays into heat with the use of solar thermal collectors for warming water, i.e. for the swimming pool. 3.) Solar energy works by converting the sun's rays into hot air for heating buildings with the use of solar thermal collectors. How do solar panels work?

Home Solar Panels by Ross Bainbridge
... Home solar panels are devices consisting of photovoltaic (PV) cells or modules that convert sunlight directly into electricity and these can power home and consumer products.
