solar panels
Rooftop energy harvesters
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity, typically mounted on rooftops or arranged in large arrays.
The panels contain photovoltaic cells that generate current when exposed to light.
They installed solar panels to reduce their electricity bills.
Solar panels also refer to thermal collectors that heat water using sunlight.
