Ma sola ndi zida zomwe zimasinthira kuwala kwa dzuwa kukhala magetsi pogwiritsa ntchito ma cell a photovoltaic (PV). Maselo a PV amapangidwa ndi zinthu zomwe zimapanga ma elekitironi okondwa pamene akumana ndi kuwala. Ma electron amayenda mozungulira ndikutulutsa magetsi olunjika (DC), omwe amatha kugwiritsidwa ntchito kupangira zida zosiyanasiyana kapena kusungidwa m'mabatire. Ma solar panel amadziwikanso kuti ma solar cell panels, solar electric panels, kapena PV modules. Mutha kusankha mphamvu kuchokera ku 5W mpaka 550W.
Chogulitsachi ndi gawo la solar. Ndikoyenera kugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi owongolera ndi mabatire. Ma sola ali ndi ntchito zosiyanasiyana ndipo amatha kugwiritsidwa ntchito m'malo ambiri, monga m'nyumba, msasa, ma RV, ma yachts, magetsi am'misewu ndi malo opangira magetsi adzuwa.
