INFORMATION OF SOLAR ENERGY: Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis. It is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. TIPES OF SOLAR ENERGY: Passive solar energy: t his type of energy takes advantage of the heat of the sun without the need for mechanical mechanisms or systems. Thermal solar energy: it produces hot water of low temperature for sanitary use and heating. Photovoltaic Solar Energy: it produces electricity through semiconductor plates that are altered by solar radiation. Solar thermal power: produces electricity with a conventional thermodynamic cycle from a ...
