Solar Power And Its Increasing Uses

In today's time of increasing pollution, eco-friendly products are preferred to be used. There are several ways in which one can make it possible. There is a lot of products that can be used to replace the older ones causing pollution. As every body, talks about “Go Green” and prefer clean energy, so we can use solar power that is easily available reduces, reduces pollution to a great extent and is eco-friendly.

Solar Power is generated by capturing the sunlight and converting it into energy and then use it in different forms. Usually, this process is of conversion of sunlight into heat or electricity. It is popular due to reason that it saves the fossil fuel which is near to extinction and causes pollution. It is a convenient source of energy and a reliable replacement to the traditional power sources. Its most advantageous fact is that it is renewable energy source. No one has to fear of its extinction. They will be available life long, as the sun will keep on shining till the existence of this universe. It is also a cheap source of energy. Thus, it is a good idea to use this energy instead of other sources, which will be, both expensive, causing pollution and will not last for long.

It has several uses of its own. They can be used in solar cells or for water heating or solar furnace or solar panels. solar cells also known as photovoltaic cells or photoelectric cells that convert solar energy into electricity. They are used on solar panels made up of silicon material that absorb sunlight and their reaction produces energy. They generate direct current(DC) and using inverters it can be converted into alternate current(AC) that is used in all places including our homes. This type of energy is so efficient that it can produce enough power to light up a 100w bulb from a single square meter of it. So one must promote the use of solar power to a great extent.
