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. From
