Solar panels work by converting incoming photons of sunlight into usable electricity through the photovoltaic effect.
Electricity is generated by converting energy from sources like solar, wind, water, heat, or motion into electrical power using generators, solar panels,
While solar panels alone would not be enough to run a data center around the clock, rooftop systems could still cut daytime demand, lower pollution, and ease some of the strain on local grids.
