A [**solar cell panel,**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel) solar electric panel, photovoltaic (PV) module, or solar panel is an energy-generating assembly of photovoltaic cells mounted in a framework. Solar panels generate direct current electricity by using sunlight as a source of energy. A PV panel is a collection of PV modules, and an array is a system of PV panels. Photovoltaic arrays provide solar electricity to electrical equipment. Solar panels can be a significant investment, but there are ways to make them more affordable.

This means fewer [**workers**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/40534/why-did-white-collar-workers-have-more-time-off-than-blue-collar-workers), less land, and fewer [**machines**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/98231/will-humans-have-merged-with-machines-in-100-years-time).

**3. Solar panel grants:** There are many government and non-profit organizations that offer solar panel grants. Check with your local government or utility company to see if you qualify.

**4. Solar panel rebates:** Some states offer solar panel rebates to encourage homeowners to switch to renewable energy. Check with your state’s energy office to see if rebates are available.

**5. Solar panel financing:** You can finance your solar panel purchase through a loan or lease. This can make solar panels more affordable by spreading the cost over time.

**6. Solar panel leasing:** You can lease solar panels from a company for a fixed monthly payment. This can make solar panels more affordable than purchasing them outright.
