Solar Power For millions of years the sun has wrapped the world in it ’s warmth and light‚ providing the necessities for life. Even now we are still finding many uses for the massive amount of energy the sun produces. Light travels to the earth in about eight seconds and is filled with little packets of energy called photons‚ which make utalizing this solar power possible. There are three main ways to collect solar power. The first two are called passive system and active system. These use the

Can Solar Energy be a viable alternative for electricity generation in Nepal? “The sun bathes the earth in a steady‚ enormous flow of radiant energy that far exceeds what the world requires for electricity fuel.” The last decade has been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population‚ along with rapid industrialization and urbanization
