View of solar panels on the roof of a building
Solar panels. Array of solar panels (photovoltaic cells) on the roof of a building. The cells contain a semiconducting material which converts sunlight directly into electricity. Solar power is a renewable, inexhaustible source of energy and does not contribute to global warming. As solar cells do not work in low light, residences which use solar power must have a reserve power supply, such as batteries which store excess power during the day. Solar energy is relatively cheap, as once the panels are installed, they continue to produce electricity indefinitely. Photographed in Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a breathtaking view of solar panels adorning the roof of a building. The array of photovoltaic cells, glistening under the sun's rays, harnesses its energy and converts it directly into electricity. These remarkable cells contain semiconducting material that efficiently transforms sunlight into power, making solar energy an invaluable renewable source. Not only does this eco-friendly technology provide inexhaustible energy, but it also plays a crucial role in combating global warming. By utilizing solar power, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner and greener future. To ensure uninterrupted access to electricity even during low-light conditions, residences equipped with solar panels require backup power supplies such as batteries. These batteries store excess energy generated throughout the day for later use when sunlight is scarce. One of the most appealing aspects of solar energy is its cost-effectiveness. Once installed on rooftops like these in Germany, these panels continue producing electricity indefinitely without any additional expenses or harmful emissions. This awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of how innovative technologies like solar power are revolutionizing our world by providing sustainable alternatives to traditional sources of energy.
