The Advantages of Solar Power
Solar power is the conversion of the energy in the solar cells into usable electricity. Solar energy is also heat and radiant light from the Sun, which is harnessed by a wide range of evolving technologies like solar heat, photovoltaic, solar heating, solar photovoltaic power systems, solar energy storage, solar architecture and artificial Photosynthesis. A solar power system can be either a stand-alone device or a system of integrated devices. The latter is better for long-term utilization of the sunlight as it requires less maintenance and can be integrated with other devices. It is also cost effective and has a long life span.
The most important benefit of solar power is its use of renewable energy sources like the sun. This energy can be retrieved from our Planet at an abundant source. This renewable source of energy is untapped and therefore cheaper than other renewable sources of energy like coal, gas and petroleum. If this renewable resource is used very intelligently, it will not only save our environment but also help us to create a healthy economic platform for the future generations. Another important benefit is that the energy retrieved from the sun can be converted into thermal energy, which is a very useful form of energy that can be used in a number of ways in different industries.
In the past, solar collectors and heaters were quite expensive. Today, with the help of advanced technology, these days it is easy to build a small collector or heater that can collect and store the solar energy and convert it into electricity that can be reused and saved for future consumption. The heat is also recovered from the Sun and transferred to a house or a building through a tubing system. Solar water heaters can be also used to generate heat for domestic purposes.
