Why would anyone use solar energy as an alternative energy to solve the world’s pollution problem? As humans, everyday we burn many different types of fossil fuels to produce ourselves electricity and to power up our vehicles, and so we create a lot of pollution, making this our own fault. With our modern technology and the abundance of the sun’s energy, solar energy has the ability to provide the world with electricity and different types of fluid (“Solar Energy”). Solar energy is ?e energy source. It is also comparable to fossil fuels in the way that it works, but unlike fossil fuels, solar energy is pollution-free (). Although, solar energy is not optimal at night or can be unreliable during the day, as cloudy weather may occur; because of technical …show more content…
Photovoltaic has been in production and used around the world for around the past 20 years, even though the photovoltaic was first discovered and created in 1954, it has only come in production recently (author, 34). There are two main processes for harnessing solar energy, these are the solar thermal system and the photovoltaic system. The process of how solar thermal system is that it uses the energy that is provided from the sun, not fossil fuels, to generate environmentally friendly, low cost thermal energy. It helps us provide hot water or other fluids, and can power solar cooling systems. For photovoltaic energy, it works the same as solar thermal energy, only difference is that it doesn’t generate hot water or other fluids and power solar cooling system, although it generates electricity for items that we use daily. The solar panels contains photovoltaic cells, which can convert heat energy from the sunlight into direct current electricity during the day, and direct current energy can power up a lot of items that we use daily. Bit more detail. Using solar panels are inexhaustible, as we will always have the sun to collect heat
