Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power.

Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam.

Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.

Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.

Off-the-grid is a system and lifestyle designed to help people function without the support of remote infrastructure, such as an electrical grid.

In electricity, off-grid can be stand-alone power system or mini-grids typically to provide a smaller community with electricity.

Off-grid electrification is an approach to access electricity used in countries and areas with little access to electricity, due to scattered or distant population.

The term off-the-grid (OTG) can refer to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities.

People who adopt this lifestyle are called off-gridders.

An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power.

An example of an electric power system is the network that supplies a region's homes and industry with power—for sizeable regions, this power system is known as the grid and can be broadly divided into the generators that supply the power, the transmission system that carries the power from the generating centres to the load centres and the distribution system that feeds the power to nearby homes and industries.

Smaller power systems are also found in industry, hospitals, commercial buildings and homes.

The majority of these systems rely upon three-phase AC power—the standard for large-scale power transmission and distribution across the modern world.

Specialised power systems that do not always rely upon three-phase AC power are found in aircraft, electric rail systems, ocean liners and automobiles.
