Breaking Down Photovoltaic (PV):
There are two basic types of solar energy that can be captured from the sun’s rays: Photovoltaic and Thermal. Some solar systems trap the heat from the sun and turn that into electricity (thermal). The solar panels we use at Sunrun transform the light from the sun into energy (Photovoltaic).
