History of Solar Energy 1767‚ First Solar Collector In the year 1767 a Swiss scientist named Horace-Benedict de Saussure created the first solar collector – an insulated box covered with three layers of glass to absorb heat energy. Saussure’s box became widely known as the first solar oven‚ reaching temperatures of 230 degrees fahrenheit. 1839‚ Photovolataic Effect Defined In 1839 a major milestone in the evolution of solar energy happened with the defining of the photovoltaic effect.

Energy Transformation Conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation are things that exist in our life. Thanks to that stuff we have things like electricity and things to cook too. I am going to explain things about energy transformation. Heat transfer is the way heat moves through matter to change the temperature of other objects. There are three types of heat transfers‚ Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. The first kind of heat transfer‚ conduction‚ is heat transferring through direct contact of materials

Solar Energy The Sun is a star and without it there would be no life on earth. This is why the Sun is called the ultimate source of energy. The Sun’s energy is produced by a process called nuclear fusion. Every second‚ the Sun emits vast amounts of energy‚ much of which is light‚ and this solar radiation can be converted into electricity. Plants and trees are pretty good at collecting this energy. With the help of green chlorophyll‚ they use light energy to make food – they’re our solar powered

Nowadays the amount of energy we use varies inversely to the environmental impact on our planet. And the consequence of overusing the energy may be not so positive. We have to do the actions towards to create more sustainable environment. In order to help our planet to survive the actions should be done in individual‚ local‚ national‚ and international levels. First of all‚ the sustainable development of our earth is started from the least. Consequently every human in this world should ask himself
