Solar radiation may be converted directly into solar power (electricity) by solar cells, or photovoltaic cells. In such cells, a small electric voltage is generated when light strikes the junction between a metal and a semiconductor (such as silicon) or the junction between two different semiconductors.

Solar power in New Zealand is a small but rapidly growing contributor to the country's electricity supply. In 2024, 601 gigawatt-hours of electricity was estimated to have been generated by grid-connected solar, 1. Retail buy-back rates for solar power exported to the grid range from 8 to 17 cents per kilowatt-hour, plus 15% if the system owner is GST-registered.

Solar power has a growing role in electricity production in the United Kingdom, contributing around 5% of the UK's annual power generation in 2024. There were few installations until 2010, when the UK government mandated subsidies. Decentralised smaller scale generators which are not connected directly to the transmission network are forecast to increase.
