Solar thermal energy

Solar power : INTRODUCTION : BEN Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar radiation, along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available renewable energy on earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used. Solar powered electrical generation relies on heat engines and photovoltaics

Solar energy just means energy (light or heat) that comes from the sun. Solar energy has existed for five billion years, since the sun was born. humans have been using solar energy for thousands of years. The Greeks were the first to use solar architecture, over 2,000 years ago. They built their houses such the way the sun's rays entered during the winter, but weren't able to enter during the summer so they weren’t too cold or too hot. Entire cities were built this way! (They were way ahead of us

| Solar Power PlantSolar Trough SystemTrough systems predominate among today’s commercial solar power plants. Trough systems convert the heat from the sun into electricity. Because of their parabolic shape, troughs can focus the sun at 30 to 60 times its normal intensity on a receiver pipe located along the focal line of the trough. Synthetic oil captures this heat as the oil circulates through the pipe, reaching temperatures as high as 390°C (735ºF). The hot oil is pumped to a generating

Today, climate problems are on the summit of the international political agenda. Climate change created by humans around the globe is the largest
