Solar Energy: The Energy for Future of India
Solar Energy is the energy that is radiated by the sun that travels to the Earth. The amount of solar energy falling on Earth is far more than we currently need but also we might ever need. How Solar Energy is harnessed? Solar energy can be harnessed by using Photovoltaic Technology which has a panel made up of semiconductors and bus bars. When sunlight falls on the panel, the semiconductors free an electron which travels through the bus bar, that is the electric current produced. The generated electric current is in direct form, which is converted in alternating current through an inverter, because most appliances use alternating current. What are the benefits of Solar Energy over other sources? Solar energy is a renewable source of energy and also non-polluting source, which when generated does not harm nature in any way. It is much more environment friendly than any of the conventional energy sources like coal, or petroleum. Also solar energy generating does not require any moving p...
