The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the earth. Solar energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. Solar energy can be converted to thermal (or heat) energy

Debating which specific form of energy should be invested heavily in‚ in hope that carbon emissions and the use of coal will be reduced in the future (Clean Line‚ 2013). It is believed that the dominance of coal will be challenged by renewable energy e.g. Wind and Solar. Renewable energy is fast‚ clean‚ affordable‚ efficient‚ reliable and ultimately infinite in that both Wind and Solar are an endless

All solar lights are “wireless”. They are not “hooked up” to external sources of power. Solar lights produce no pollution and cause no harmful environmental effects. Once installed‚ energy is free Fourteen solar farms have a combined installed capacity of 388.4 megawatts and in 2011 generated 0.1 billion kilowatt-hours. (Source: Canadian Centre for Energy Information compilation‚ 2013) There are now 3‚133 megawatts of solar power installed in the U.S. That’s enough to power nearly 3 million homes

This paper is about how the plant cells and solar cells are similar to each other as well as how they are different to one another. In addition this paper explains how the laws of thermodynamics apply to each of the plant and solar cells system.

With an increasing awareness in the fight against global warming and greenhouse gas emissions‚ governments around the world are looking for alternative sources of energy. These include wind‚ solar and hydro energy sources‚ known as renewable sources (Able to be regrown). However‚ one fuel source in particular is currently being used and produced to power both vehicles and electrical generators around the world; biofuels. Biofuels are renewable gas or liquid fuels made from plant matter such as corn

Photosynthesis vs. Solar Cells When the subject of solar energy is discussed both the ideas and processes of photosynthesis and solar cells are the basis of these conversations. While both are processing or converting light into energy‚ which will be explained further‚ it is the type of energy that is vastly different. Photosynthesis as a process used by certain plants to convert the suns energy into food. When the electromagnetic energy from the sun reaches a green plant the chlorophyll
