Solar Energy www.wesrch.com What Is Solar Energy & Types of Solar Energy
Solar power is energy from the sun. "Solar" is the Latin word for "sun" and it's a powerful source of energy. Without it, there will be no life. Solar energy is considered as a serious source of energy for many years because of the vast amounts of energy that is made freely available, if harnessed by modern technology.
Types of Solar Energy Passive Solar Energy Active Solar Energy Solar Thermal Energy Photovoltaic Solar Power Concentrating Solar Power (CSP)
Passive Solar Energy Passive solar energy refers to the harnessing of the sun's energy without the use of mechanical devices. Using south-facing windows to provide natural lighting and heat for your home are examples of passive solar energy. Advantages of Passive Solar Energy Passive Solar Heating Passive Cooling Daylighting
Active Solar Energy Active solar energy uses mechanical devices in the collection, storage, and distribution of solar energy for your home. For example, in active solar energy water heating systems, pumps are used to circulate water through the system. Advantages of Active Solar Energy Active Solar Space Heating Active Solar Water Heating Active Solar Pool Heating
Solar Thermal Energy Solar thermal energy is the energy created by converting solar energy into heat. Advantages of Solar Thermal Energy Solar Pool Heating Solar Water Heating Solar Space Heating Solar Thermal Cooling
Photovoltaic Solar Power Photovoltaic solar power is the energy created by converting solar energy into electricity using photovoltaic solar cells. Advantages of Photovoltaic Solar Power Solar Electricity Photovoltaic Cooling Photovoltaic Solar Lighting
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Concentrating solar power is a type of solar thermal energy that is used to generate solar power electricity. Advantages of Concentrating Solar Power Arid non farming land can be used to create electricity. Concentrated Solar Power uses less land than flat panel solar power. Avoids variability of future energy prices.
