Introduction
The Sun is stable source of energy that is transferred to the Earth as light energey and
heat energy. Light Energy is a Radiant Energy is that electromagnetic waves while heat energy is
a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. We can use this energy by
the use of the solar energy. Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an important food crop of the world.
It is used as vegetable, stock feed and in industries for manufacturing starch, alcoholic
Vitamin C, number of B group vitamins and high quality dietary fiber Potatoes yield about
97 Kilo calories per 100 gm fresh weight, which is much less than cereals. The net protein
utilization or biological value of potato protein (about 71% that of whole egg), is better than that
of wheat (53%), maize (54%), peas (48%), beans (46%) and is comparable to cow’s milk

Potatoes offer more than just a valuable source of nutrition, now they can also power
your lights and computers, say Israeli researchers. The scientists from Hebrew University of
Jerusalem (HUJ) have discovered that potatoes can be used as organic batteries, providing a
cheap, immediate and easy to use source of green power to parts of the world that currently
lack electrical infrastructure. It’s a development that could improve the quality of life of 32

This study developed that a potato can light a bulb that will help
us to conserve energy.
• What is a potato?
• What are the advantages of a potato out of the other electrical system?
There are many food crops, including potatoes, which are wasted every day. Most of
the crops are discarded or thrown away. Potatoes are often discarded, being the fourth largest
food crop with only so many to buy them. One of the researchers’ goals was to lessen the
wasted food crops by finding other uses for them. The researchers also found that this
of electricity fit for rural areas. According to the research of the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, a slice of potato can generate 20 hours of light, and several slices of potatoes could
