    Solar energy is energy from the sun that is converted into useful forms of power, such as electricity, heating, or cooling. It is harnessed using solar panels or concentrated solar power systems. The two main types of solar energy technology are solar photovoltaics, which convert sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells, and solar thermal, where heat from the sun is used directly or to power mechanical devices that generate electricity. Harnessing solar energy helps provide renewable energy and drives technology development, but installing solar systems can be expensive and solar energy depends on weather conditions.

    SOLAR ENERGY

    Bismonte, Chua, Fontanilla


    SOLAR ENERGY
    ● Energy created by the heat and
    light of the sun
    ● When this energy is converted
    into electricity or used to heat
    air, water, or other substances,
    solar power is produced
    ● Done by using solar panels
    TWO MAIN TYPES OF SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

    1. SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC
    - also known solar cell systems, which converts
    sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic
    (PV) cells
    TWO MAIN TYPES OF SOLAR ENERGY TECHNOLOGY

    2. SOLAR THERMAL
    - heat is used directly or converted into mechanical
    energy and in turn electricity, known as
    concentrated solar power
    WAYS TO HARNESS SOLAR ENERGY

    1. Photovoltaic (Solar Electric)


    2. Solar heating and cooling
    3. Concentrating solar power
    4. Passive solar
