 DEFINITION

 Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed
using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating,
photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt
power plants and artificial photosynthesis.
 It is an important source of renewable energy and its technologies are
broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending
on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar
power.
 Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic systems,
concentrated solar power and solar water heating to harness the
energy. 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.
Why do we opt for solar energy?
 Solar energy: It is taking the world by storm. As more and more
people understand how solar technology works and how easily
they can incorporate it into their homes, the more advantages
they can reap of having such an energy system.
 Apart from enjoying significant savings on your energy bills, the
following five reasons will help you understand why EVERYONE
should switch to solar energy:
 1. Beneficial to the Environment
 2. Protection from risng utility Costs
 3. Enables People to stay in Inhabitable Lands
 4. Solar Power use equates to less loss of electricity
 5. Better for the Economy
Home appliances which can run
for solar energy.

 Solar air conditioning.

 Solar balloon.
 Solar charger. Solar backpack. Solar cell phone charger. Strawberry
Tree.
 Solar chimney.
 Solar calculator.
 Solar-powered waste compacting bin.
 Solar cooker.
 Solar dryer.
 Those were few examples of home appliances
 COSTS OF SOME HOME
APPLIANCES OF SOLAR
ENERGY
 Solar Air Conditioner -Price is $2,950 with solar panels included,
$1,695 without.
 Solar Balloons -Their target cost is $4,000 per balloon, compared
to the $10,000 it would cost for a solar field producing the same
amount of energy.
 Solar Chimney - A standard chimney this size would be around
$4000. The additional costs of insulation material, reflective metal
and paint will increase the potential cost by approximately $1000.
 Solar calculator - This is an estimate of costs based on the
available solar credits and solar rebates for your geographical area.
 Solar cooker - high efficiency solar ovens cost between $200 and
$300.
