How Solar Energy is Made Producing solar energy is the transfer of the suns heat to the earths surface. Solar electricity is created by using Photovoltaic (PV)technology and converting solar energy into solar electricity from sunlight. Photovoltaic array converts solar energy to direct current electricity. When the sunlight reaches the earth’s surface‚ it must be captured and then turned into a source of energy. It is called infrared radiation when the earth captures heat by using solar

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service. For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services‚ it can result in

natural resources in the future. There are many different types of alternative sources of energy to choose from‚ but in my opinion there are three that would be best suited for use in the future. The three that I find majorly important are wind power‚ solar power‚ and hydropower. All three alternative energy sources could be very useful to use in the future‚ but they all also have negative sides to them and that is why all three‚ instead of just one‚ are the best to use in the future. One alternative
