Renewable energy is well known for its neat and clean behavior, pollution free and never ending resources. Renewable energy is the energy whose resources are renew naturally like solar, wind, tidal etc. Renewable energy resources are located in different geographical areas.
Benefits of Renewable Energy-
1. No negative effect on environment.
2. No global warming.
3. Decrease dependability on fossil fuels.
4. Protection of air, land and water.
5. Never ending energy supply.
6. More reliable than other resources.
Uses of Renewable Energy-
1. Electricity generation for industrial and domestic use
2. Solar water heating.
3. Biofuels as transport fuel
4. Solar charged electric vehicles.
5. Solar Energy
Solar Energy-
Solar energy comes from the sun. The sun is a big energy resource for all of us. It emits different types of energy radiations and light. In the Earth Sun is the vast source of energy, but most of this energy we never use.
Now a days solar energy is used to produce electricity in the residential areas by using solar panels. Some countries are also starting production of large scale electricity by using solar power plants. These power plants can produce electricity in megawatts and reducing the cost of electric bills.
Electricity from Solar Power-
Solar panels are the medium which converts solar energy into electric energy. Solar panels are of two types - solar thermal and photovoltaic. Photovoltaic solar panels are made from silicon based semiconducting materials. Sun rays are absorbed by this panel and semiconducting material produce electricity.
Solar Water Heating-
Solar thermal Panels are used in solar water heating.
Uses of Solar Energy-
1. Indoor and outdoor lighting
2. Solar cookers
3. Electricity production
4. Battery Charging in Electric Vehicles
5. Heating home in winters
6. Solar water heating
It is free, renewable, low running cost, decreases electricity bills, then why not solar energy. So what are you waiting, come and make earth pollution free by using Solar Energy.
