Correct Answer: Both statements are true.


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Both statements are true.

Statement 1 is true. Solar energy comes from the sun, which is an abundant and renewable source of power. Sunlight is captured using various technologies such as solar panels to convert it into usable electricity.

Statement 2 is also true. Photovoltaic cells, commonly known as solar cells, are used in solar panels to convert sunlight directly into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight strikes the cells, it excites the electrons, generating an electric current.

Both statements align with the generally accepted understanding of solar energy and its conversion into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells.
