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 power technologies provide electrical generation by means of heat engines or photovoltaics. Once converted its uses are only limited by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, daylighting, hot water, thermal energy for cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes. 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.
