Solar energy is the cleanest source of energy we know. It is converted into electricity by solar cells, the efficiency of which is influenced by many environmental factors and by the type of solar cell. This paper presents the importance of harnessing clean energy for the environment, in what form solar energy reaches the Earth and how we can harness it. Also, it presents the types of solar cells, their properties, the factors influencing their operation and the theoretical advantages of combining solar cells with green areas in cities. We found out what effect green areas have on the cooling of solar cells and their efficiency.
