  The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a water imaging Cherenkov detector.
Utilising a 1 kilotonne ultra-pure D2O target, it is the first experiment to
have equal sensitivity to all flavours of active neutrinos. This allows a
solar-model independent test of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis to be made.
Solar neutrinos from the decay of 8B have been detected at SNO by the
charged-current (CC) interaction on the deuteron and by the elastic scattering
(ES) of electrons. While the CC interaction is sensitive exclusively to
electron neutrinos, the ES interaction has a small sensitivity to muon and tau
neutrinos. In this paper, the recent solar neutrino results from the SNO
experiment are presented. The measured ES interaction rate is found to be
consistent with the high precision ES measurement from the Super-Kamiokande
experiment. The electron neutrino flux deduced from the CC interaction rate in
SNO differs from the Super-Kamiokande ES measurement by 3.3 sigma. This is
evidence of an active neutrino component, in addition to electron neutrinos, in
the solar neutrino flux. These results also allow the first experimental
determination of the active 8B neutrino flux from the Sun, and this is found to
be in good agreement with solar model predictions
