Solar energy is an excellent source of renewable power but the biggest caveat in harnessing it is varied weather conditions and hence, it cannot be kept going all round the clock. Converting solar energy into electrical energy utilizes the principle of optoelectronics, by means of large-scale photodiodes. These devices are made of a semiconductor material that turns light particles or photons coming from the Sun, into electricity by exciting electrons in a material such as Silicon.
