Solar energy comes from harvesting the sun’s energy with the use of solar panels. Solar panels are made of semiconductor materials, and when sunlight hits the panels, electrons are knocked loose from their atoms, which generates electricity. Solar energy does not work at night and can be affected by weather, thus it is important to use a storage device, such as a battery. Solar energy use has surged about 20% over the last 15 years.
