Solar Energy (Thermal and Electrical)

Solar energy is one of the naturally occurring renewable energy resources which is primarily emitted from sun. Different techniques like solar cells are used to transform the solar radiation into useful energy. The earth approximately receives 174,000 tera-whatts of energy through this source in the form of thermal and electrical energy.

The Sun is an abundant and important source of energy. This is the base of all living beings apart from that we are also utilizing solar energy as an efficient source in the form of day to day use. By the use of our advance technology and machine we are also capable to use this source as mega source of power.
