Save Environment Use Solar Energy

With the arising use of solar energy or the so-called solar power, there are a number of benefits of solar energy. Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation along with secondary solar resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass account for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used.

Solar Energy is renewable source of energy. Everyday the sun comes up and goes down and each time it does it releases more energy you can harness with your own solar panels, and use for daily electric needs. Instead of paying a monthly bill, invest in some panels and save thousands in the long run. Solar is not only free and abundant, it's also pollution-free. The heat and light we get from the sun is produced as a result of the natural processes of the sun, and produces no pollutants or carbon emissions.

Solar power technologies provide electrical generation by means of heat engines or photovoltaic. Once converted its uses are only limited by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, day lighting, hot water, thermal energy for cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.

Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels, solar thermal collectors, with electrical or mechanical equipment, to convert sunlight into useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.
