SOLAR ENERGY.

This is energy produced by the sun which is inexhaustible and renewable,it is harnessed using solar
panels and mirrors. The solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity using the photovoltaic effect
whereby certain materials are able to absorb light particles and liberate electrons generating an electric
current. Solar thermal conductors use panels or mirrors to absorb the heat from the sun which is
transferred into a fluid and transported through pipes so as to be used in buildings and installations as
well as production of electricity.

Solar energy provides heat tapped by mirrors that focus light from the sun on a receiver that contains a
fluid which have a temperature of up to
