They are usually made of materials such as silicon and can generate electricity wherever there is sunlight. Therefore, they are suitable for a variety of occasions from large power stations to small portable chargers. Although the reserves of solar energy are very large, the proportion of electricity generated by humans using solar power generation in the world's total energy consumption is still relatively small, only about 0.16%.
