DEFINITIONS:
Solar energy is an energy source that involves tapping the radiant light energy
that is emitted by the sun and converting it into electricity.
Homes that are powered by solar energy have been installed with batteries that
have a capability of storing power that can operate electrical appliances such as TV,
Radio, computers and refrigerators.
Solar energy is the light and radiant heat from the Sun that influences Earth's
climate and weather and sustains life. In the environmental context, it is also used
to refer to the process of generation of electricity by tapping the solar energy.
Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth.
This energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as heat
and electricity.
Solar energy was formed by the solar panel which is placed directly
under the sun to capture the sun light in the solar cells to generate
electricity.
Solar energy is a renewable form of energy and is much cheaper
and durable. Solar heater nowadays, are used most commonly
everywhere.
The energy from the sun makes rain fall and wind blow. We can
capture that energy with dams and windmills.
Coal, oil, and natural gas were made from prehistoric plants and
animals. The energy in them came from the sun. We use that energy
to cook our food, warm our houses, run our cars, and make
electricity.
SOLAR ENERGY IS
RENEWABLE
Solar energy is free and clean. There is enough for everyone, and
we will never run out of it. Solar energy is renewable. The sun will
keep making energy for millions of years. Why don’t we use the sun
for all our energy needs? We don’t know how to yet. The hard part is
capturing the sunlight. It shines all over the Earth and only a little bit
reaches any one place. On a cloudy day, most of the light never
reaches the ground at all.
USING SOLAR ENERGY
Solar Collectors- capture the sunlight and turn it into heat. People can
heat their houses and their water using the sun’s energy.
Solar cells can turn solar energy into electricity. Some toys and
calculators use solar cells instead of batteries.
Solar panels are made of many solar cells. Some people put solar
panels on their home. These solar panels can make enough electricity for a
house. Solar panels are good for houses and buildings without access to
power lines.
