Hydropower plants capture the energy of flowing water to generate electricity. They convert the energy of the falling water into rotational mechanical energy and consequently to electric energy using generators that are connected to the turbines.  Unlike solar panels, hydropower plants can generate electricity even during night-time. We just need water. That’s it. Solar panels need sunlight to generate electricity. So, during night time it’s impossible to generate electricity. This is the main disadvantage of solar panels. To overcome this, we can do one thing. We can store the excess power generated from the solar panels during daytime in a battery and then use this stored power during night-time. The problem here is we don’t have such a giant battery. A pumped hydropower plant can act as a battery.
