Solar electric systems convert the energy in sunlight into electrical current, which can power electric loads, be fed back to the electric grid, or be stored in batteries. All solar electric
There are two main types of solar energy technologies—photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP). On this page you'll find resources to learn what solar energy is; how you, your business, or your community can go solar; and find resources for every step of the way.
Learn the basics of solar energy technology including solar radiation, photovoltaics (PV), concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP), grid integration, and soft costs. Learn More about How Does Solar Work?
In municipalities where large-scale solar energy systems are being considered, there are several land-use tools available to accommodate them in agricultural areas, including overlay zones, floating zones, special-use permits, site plan regulations, and environmental review requirements.
