Solar Energy
Solar energy is the radiant energy emitted by the sun, which can be harnessed and converted into usable forms of energy, such as electricity or heat. It is a renewable energy source that relies on sunlight, which is abundant and sustainable. Solar energy can be collected through various technologies, primarily solar panels, which convert sunlight directly into electricity (photovoltaics) or through solar thermal systems that capture heat from the sun to produce hot water or steam for electricity generation. This energy source is environmentally friendly, contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, making it a key component in efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable energy solutions.
