Solar panels need to be pointed towards the most direct source of sunlight in order to absorb the highest possible amount of solar energy.
Solar energy is first of all a very useful source of alternative energy, as it can provide electricity during power failures.

You cannot store conventional power but you can store solar power for future use. The sun’s energy comes to rescue even in the times of darkness! Storing it also ensures a 24x7 supply of power, thus saving you from any power outage.
There two forms of solar power: Thermal solar power is where the heat of the sun is used to heat water to drive a turbine to produce electricity. Photovoltaic solar power is when electricity is produced directly from the sun without any moving parts.
Solar power is often used in consumer products that require small amounts of energy such as calculators and digital watches.
Solar energy can be an integral part of any combination of clean, renewable energy sources to meet the nation's need for electricity while reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
