Solar energy.:

• Notoriously, it is the one that comes from the sun's rays. This enormous star emits powerful electromagnetic radiation that reaches Earth in the form of light and heat. Annually, our planet receives 179 billion kilowatts of power from our sun.

• Not all of it reaches, some of it is diverted to space due to the protection that our atmosphere produces due to its inexhaustible nature. Currently, it is one of the most essential renewable energy resources or inexhaustible natural resources on our planet.

• What solar energy is for or works for:

• The solar star emits light, energy and heat to all humans and living beings, but people make more progress for our lifestyle day by day.

Below I will name the most essential uses of solar energy, electricity. ?

• Solar energy is TRANSFORMED into electricity thanks to photovoltaic panels.

• What are photovoltaic panels:

• These panels are made up of heat and cold photovoltaic cells or cells.

• The energy of the sun:

• It is used to create the heat we need in our homes for example heating, also to heat our meals, for this, solar thermal panels are used among many others, there are also means of transportation, electric vehicles already exist, a step would be taken later if the electricity consumed came from pure and renewable energy by installing more photovoltaic solar panels.

• PRECISE electrical energy will be produced so that cars, trams, and airplanes can move. Now that I have already told you what solar energy is, I will tell you its advantages and disadvantages.

• Let's pay attention and focus on solar energy?

• It is a type of VERY renewable energy that comes directly from solar energy, the largest star we have as a heat source, which we convert into thermal and electrical energy. This is a clean and very abundant source of energy with multiple applications such as :

1 - Electricity generation
2 - Lighting supply and
3 -Hot and cold water among others.

There are three types of solar energy or ways to exploit photovoltaic energy:

• Photovoltaic panels are produced to release and obtain energy, they can be used to use energy for electrical devices, they also supply our homes with concentrated thermal energy. In these, mirrors or lenses are used that concentrate that sunlight, being able to take advantage of its heat to acquire steam. water H2O which moves large turbines with such operation such electrical energy is generated.

• These can be stored during the day and are activated when night falls.

• Solar heating and cooling?

• This can be collected in solar heat energy through thermal solar panels, which is used to heat H2O and spaces, as well as cooling areas in buildings.

Solar energy advantages?

• This energy is pure and clean, renewable, inexhaustible and sustainable, it generates electricity and we can heat and cool. Here we have the useful life expectancy of the panels. Their useful life reaches about 42 years. It also does not generate any pollution. Apart from the expired panel, it can be renew, it is abundant and widely distributed, which reduces the use of fossil fuels, favoring the conservation of natural resources even more.

Solar energy disadvantages?

• Although there are many benefits, there are also drawbacks, the efficiency is relatively low, around 23%, and implies a high initial cost, a large installation area is required and the energy is not always constant but fluctuates throughout the day despite that the use of solar panels does not pollute during their manufacturing if toxic waste materials are produced as well as large quantities of greenhouse gases and the installation can have a polluting visual impact.

Finally, we are going to explain to you the uses of solar energy, what it is used for, let's see in depth types of solar energy?

There are 3 types of energy from the sun?

1 - Thermal solar energy that is used to produce heat Example for heating AND being able to heat H2O.
2 - Photovoltaic solar energy is responsible for generating electricity, being able to transform the sun's radiation into electricity through Photovoltaic honeycombs.
3 - Bioclimatic Energy consists of the use of the sun's energy in civil construction, that is, infrastructure Example HOUSES APARTMENTS ECT... with the greatest use of natural light from the Sun.

Will I explain the uses of solar energy Bioclimatic Architecture?

• Easy is based on construction and design of buildings and houses which allows us to take advantage of natural light and the collection of solar energy on which the walls and windows can receive and in turn store that energy and then be distributed in the form of heat in cold weather times and to be able to reject it in summer times electricity these Photovoltaic Solar panels THEIR FUNCTION is to transform that solar energy into electricity allowing it to be used to the best advantage in our homes.

• When using this electricity, the capacity of the system we have installed must be taken into account since this energy can also be stored in batteries to provide current in times of rainy and very cloudy skies.

• Solar energy is also used to illuminate exteriors such as paths and roads, highways, without having to use electrical wiring. This is possible since the different lighting points have a small plate that captures the solar energy during the day and stores it when When night comes, it makes use of this stored energy by supplying light, providing hot water in its different uses, water at about 45 degrees Celsius to be disinfected and used to purify the liquid.

• But how can you bring the water to this temperature: very easy with thermal solar panels, these thermal panels are seen in houses that have been recently built as well as in old houses in which the installations have been replaced to generate economic savings on heating or air. conditioning a solar heater the energy of the Sun and converting it into thermal energy which can produce hot air in winter and air conditioning in summer, this allows a strong energy saving of 72% and great economic savings.

• We can find two systems: 1 the active system that uses pumps for the circulation of hot water to transfer heat and the passive system in which the natural circulation of water is used.

Before continuing, did you know how to tell us which country has the most solar energy installations?

A - China
B - United States
C - Germany

Well the correct answer is China.

• The uses of solar energy Air conditioning of swimming pools and spas Thermal energy is also used to heat water, something that is increasingly common in places where sunny weather is predominant, such as Spain or Latin America.

• This use implies great economic savings in electricity or gas electric transport with solar energy currently. Photovoltaic solar energy is already beginning to be used to power buses, railways, electric cars and lights that are activated in road markings, it is a use that It is still under development.

• And if it gives good results, it will significantly help reduce pollution in cities. Irrigation There are pumps that work with solar energy that allow farmers to regularly irrigate and therefore make optimal use of water.

• There are several types of solar pump irrigation systems:

1 - The depression ones that are served directly by the solar panels.
2 - The pivot ones that are powered by photovoltaic energy.
3 - The ones that are completely automated that also work with wearable technology solar panels.

• Currently, solar batteries are manufactured capable of charging electronic devices or devices that charge themselves by being exposed to sunlight. We can find everything from a dryer or radio to a wireless speaker and a tablet; In addition, it now also applies to what is known as weapon technology such as smart watches and glasses that charge with sunlight.

• solar energy: it is the future as solar energy is a renewable and therefore inexhaustible resource, greater use of it is expected in the future and there are light eyebrows of advanced technology that capture sunlight and convert it into energy, something that could revolutionize the "self-consumption" of energy in homes and companies.

• In addition, work is also being done to develop solar airplanes such as the solar impulse 2 that has already circled the world, remaining almost five nights and five days without landing using only sunlight, a future full of new uses awaits us. Solar energy, a resource that will allow us to reduce pollution and take care of the planet. Now you know everything about solar energy. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to write us a comment. Until next time, environmentalists.

Conclusion.

• Solar energy has various applications, including pool heating, electric transportation, irrigation, and wearable technology.

• The future holds even more potential for solar energy with advances in sunlight harvesting and the development of solar-powered aircraft.

• By taking advantage of this renewable resource, we can reduce pollution and create a sustainable future in our home planet Earth where each and every one of us lives, which is why I ask that we be aware of taking care of our ecosystems.
