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's uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.To harvest the solar energy, the most common way is to use solar panels.



Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute solar energy. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors 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.

Solar energy as a new kind of energy, compared with conventional energy, it has three characteristics: first, it is the most abundant energy we can use.It is estimated that in the past 1.1 billion years long, the sun consumes 2% of its energy.Future is enough to supply the earth humans, the use of billions of years, are inexhaustible, an inexhaustible.Second: the earth, no matter where there is solar energy, can be on the development and utilization, there is no transport problem, especially for traffic underdeveloped rural areas, islands and remote areas had more use value.Third: solar energy is a kind of clean energy.During the development and utilization, won't produce waste residues, waste water, waste gas, no noise, more will not affect the ecological balance.Absolutely not cause pollution and pollution.

Solar energy is positive energy and it comes from the sun which means that solar energy will stop too much of global warming to take over the earth. It also lowers your power bill. And solar energy helps humans from polluting the earth by not using gas for your cars so that the smoke won't pollute our lovely earth.



1.Solar energy is free - it needs no fuel and produces no waste or pollution.

2.it can be used any where

3.helps your home energy bills.

4. it helps the everioment

5. it saves money

6. its cheap to use

7. you can have them on your homes

Himin solar can provide high quality solar energy products to you.

advantage of solar energy is we will never run out of the source of it.... the sun! well at least not in our life time.

better for the earth...

Solar power is the the conversion of the energy from the sun to usable electricity. The most common source of solar power utilizes photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaics utilize a semi-conductor to absorb the radiation from the sun, when the semi-conductor abosrbs this radiation it emits electrons, which are harnessed as electricity.



Solar energy is a resource that is not only sustainable for energy consumption, it is indefinitely renewable (at least until the sun runs out in billions of years). Solar power can be used to generate electricity, it is also used in relatively simple technology to heat water (solar water heaters). The use of skylights in home construction can also greatly reduce energy expenditure required to light rooms in a homes interior during the day.



Solar panels also require little maintenance. After installation and optimization they are very reliable due to the fact that they actively create electricity in just a few millimeters and do not require any type of mechanical parts that can fail. Solar panels are also a silent producer of energy, a necessity if dealing with picky neighbors. The federal government has also introduced generous tax credits for individuals and companies that invest in solar and other clean energy systems.

Advantage of Solar Energy:



1. The abundance of Solar Energy.

Even in the middle of winter each square meter of land still receives a fair amount of solar radiation. Sunlight is everywhere and the resource is practically inexhaustible. Even during cloudy days we still receive some sunlight and it is this that can be used as a renewable resource.



2. You don’t pay for sunlight.

Sunlight is totally free. There is of course the initial investment for the equipment. After the initial capital outlay you won’t be receiving a bill every month for the rest of your life from the electric utility.



3. Solar energy is getting more cost effective.

The technology for solar energy is evolving at an increasing rate. At present photovoltaic technology is still relatively expensive but the technology is improving and production is increasing. The result of this is to drive costs down. Payback times for the equipment are getting shorter and in some areas where the cost of electricity is high payback may be as short as five years.



4. Solar energy is non-polluting.

Solar energy is an excellent alternative for fossil fuels like coal and petroleum because solar energy is practically emission free while generating electricity. With solar energy the danger of further damage to the environment is minimized. The generation of electricity through solar power produces no noise. So noise pollution is also reduced.



5. Accessibility of solar power in remote locations.

Solar power can generate electricity no matter how remote the area as long as the sun shines there. Even in areas that are inaccessible to power cables solar power can produce electricity.



6. Solar energy systems are virtually maintenance free.

Once a photovoltaic array is setup it can last for decades. Once they are installed and setup there are practically zero recurring costs. If needs increase solar panels can be added with ease and with no major revamp.

Solar energy has several benefits. First, it is a renewable energy. This means that the energy will replenish itself, and not run out (like fossil fuels).



The cost of fossil fuels can be cheaper because no one owns the sun. Also, adding solar panels to a home or building will increase its value.



Utilizing solar energy will also decrease our need for foreign oil.

The main advantage of renewable energy over fossil fuels is the fact that it is renewable. This means that it can easily be replenished without so much effort for man. This is because this energy is produced through natural processes so they are generally found in nature. These makes them virtually infinite in quantity and so are not in danger of running out. Also, this energy can’t be easily wasted because it just goes back to nature where it was harnessed.



Because of the fact that they come from nature, renewable energy is also clean and does not usually produce harmful effects when harnessed and used. This advantage of renewable energy is very important especially nowadays where much of the environmental pollution comes from power plants and factories that are used to provide electricity. With renewable energy, this pollution can be greatly lessened and even eliminated in the future.

[1] Advantage for environment- no pollution is caused when you use solar energy as compared to fossil fuel.



[2] Advantage for you- In long term, you save money because of reduced electricity bill amount.You'll spend money for solar equipment buying & installation, which might hurt your pocket in short term though.



[Caveat] Many people get excited about the advantages, but then drop the idea of going ahead with solar installation due to relatively high installation cost.

Well, one of the obvious advantages is that you get to pay less for your energy usage, though that's usually not realized for a bit due the initial installation costs. The other main advantage is that you won't be using up all the (limited) fossil fuels, the shortage of which is causing and will continue to cause problems.

The sun is free! And, it should pay for itself in the long run. No radioactive waste. No dependence on oil. Solar panels are recyclable.

solar energy can reduce the cost of coal and petroleum which can make our environment become dirty and make global warming. we can try our best to protect our living environment.like solar water heater and photovoltaic module is a good choice to do something for our earth mother. I hope everybody can be aware of the important what we can do to the environment.
