Solar Energy

Solar energy is the radiant energy emitted by the sun, which can be harnessed and converted into usable forms of energy, such as electricity or heat. This energy is captured through various technologies, including solar panels (photovoltaics), solar thermal systems, and concentrated solar power systems. Solar energy is a renewable resource, meaning it is abundant and sustainable, contributing to reduced dependence on fossil fuels and minimizing environmental impact. The utilization of solar energy helps in mitigating climate change and lowering greenhouse gas emissions, as it generates power without producing air pollutants. In addition to its environmental benefits, solar energy can provide energy independence and security for households, businesses, and communities.
