Solar Energy |
When we use the word solar, we are talking about the Sun.
Many people use the terms "Solar power" and "Solar Energy" interchangeably, but some say that solar power specifically indicates the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This is accomplished either by heating a fluid to produce steam to run a generator or through solar cells (photovoltaic cells.) The U.S. Department of Energy works to provide clean, reliable and affordable solar electriciy through its photovoltaic technology programs. Photovoltaics can be used in a wide range of products, from small consumer items to larger, commercial solar electric systems. Photovoltaic energy systems are clean and do not contribute to climate change. The Sun is a direct source of energy- thus, solar power. Using renewable energy technologies, we can convert that solar energy into electricity. Solar Energy is clean energy and produces no pollution. It is reliable and low maintenance. Once a system is installed the power is free! GO GREEN
