Solar Energy
Solar energy
is the radiant
light and
heat from
the
Sun that
has been harnessed
by humans since
ancient times
using a range of
ever-evolving
technologies. Solar
radiation
along with secondary
solar resources such
as
wind and
wave power,
hydroelectricity
and
biomass
account for most of
the available
renewable energy
on Earth. Only a
minuscule fraction
of the available
solar energy is
used.
Solar technologies
are broadly
characterized as
either
passive solar
or
active solar
depending on the way
they capture,
convert and
distribute sunlight.
Active solar
techniques include
the use of
photovoltaic panels,
solar thermal
collectors, with
electrical or
mechanical
equipment, to
convert sunlight
into useful outputs.
Passive solar
techniques include
orienting a building
to the Sun,
selecting materials
with favorable
thermal mass
or light dispersing
properties, and
designing spaces
that
naturally circulate
air.
