A little bit on the technicalities now. The photovoltaic cells in solar panels are capable of converting solar energy into electricity. The more panels you line up, the more electricity can be generated. You also need an inverter and a battery to be able to use the electricity for most appliances and also to store the energy that can then be reused when the sun is not around. Another factor that determines how much electricity is generated is the efficiency of the solar panels. Better the efficiency of the panels more is the electricity that is produced.
