Below, you can find resources and information on the basics of solar radiation, photovoltaic and concentrating solar-thermal power technologies, electrical grid systems integration, and the non
Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun''s core and fuse to create a helium atom. This
Solar energy is radiant energy from the sun—a fully renewable energy resource. We use the solar resource to provide daylight, electricity, and heat in four ways (in order of prevalence): Solar PV is
Explore the fundamental components and operating principles of a basic solar power system.
Solar energy is a form of renewable energy, in which sunlight is turned into electricity, heat, or other forms of energy we can use. It is a “carbon-free” energy source that, once built,
Discover how sunlight transforms into usable electricity with this step-by-step guide to solar energy generation. Explore the workings of photovoltaic cells, inverters, and energy distribution, as well as
Solar photovoltaic systems Solar photovoltaic (PV) devices, or solar cells, convert sunlight directly into electricity. Small PV cells can power calculators, watches, and other small electronic devices. Larger
There are two main types of solar energy technologies—photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP). On this page you''ll find resources to learn what solar

Scelto Energy Africa is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in South Africa, serving the African market. We specialize in lithium-ion batteries for residential, commercial and industrial use, system-level battery management systems (BMS) for optimal performance and safety, energy conversion systems (PCS) for efficient power flow, energy storage battery system cabinets with integrated monitoring, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, commercial & industrial energy storage cabinets for factories and warehouses, integrated PV-storage systems for seamless solar plus storage operation, distributed energy resources for microgrids and off-grid applications, and deep discharge battery technology for extended cycling. As a full-service provider, we also offer containerised BESS, modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for residential, commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Africa.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation. Whether for off‑grid power systems, backup emergency power, integrated PV-storage or large zero‑carbon parks, our products feature advanced thermal management, deep discharge cycling, and compliance with African and international standards. We also provide professional energy storage system installation and after‑sales support across Africa.
