'''Solar power''' typically refers to the production of electricity from light given off by the sun. The most common instance of this is the use of photovoltaic cells in solar panels, which have been employed on the small-scale (e.g. solar-powered calculators) and large-scale (e.g. solar power plants, orbiting artificial satellites). | '''Solar power''' typically refers to the production of electricity from light given off by the sun.
