A . Radiant energy is converted to electrical energy.
In a solar panel system, radiant energy from the sun (sunlight) is converted into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells within the panels absorb photons from sunlight, generating an electric current and producing electricity for use in a house or other applications.
