 Sun light
definition
The light coming from the
Sun,we can use that to:
To dry your clothes.
To grow your food.
To heat your water.
To treat your water.
To generate your electricity.
To power your car.
To design your home.
To heat your home.
Solar energy
Solar energy, Radiation from the Sun that can
produce heat, generate electricity, or cause
chemical reactions. Solar collectors, such as
those used for solar water heating, collect solar
radiation and transfer it as heat to a carrier fluid.
It can then be used for heating. Solar cells
convert solar radiation directly into electricity by
means of the photovoltaic effect. Solar energy is
inexhaustible and nonpolluting, but there is
inherent inefficiency in converting light to
electricity. In the 21st century solar energy is
expected to become increasingly attractive as a
renewable energy source and as a useful tool in
the fight against anthropogenic global warming.
the benefits of Solar Energy:
1. Solar energy is clean & green energy

There is some pollution during electricity generation or other

sources of energy and it damages the environment due to
pollution. On the other hand, there is no such difficulty in the
origin of solar energy
2. Not dependent on other sources of Energy

After solar energy came into existence and its increased use, the
pressure on other energy sources has come down, which is a
good sign for both the ecosystem and the environment.

3. Non-maintenance

Solar power systems do not require much maintenance. Just

needs to be cleaned twice every year, but it should be kept in
mind that cleaning should always be done by experts who know
this work well. Inverters are also a part of the system, to be
replaced in five to 10 years, that is, very little is spent on
maintenance and repair work in addition to the initial cost.

4. Safer than Other

Solar power is more secure than conventional power sources,

whether it is for use or maintenance and repair.
 5. Renewable Energy

Solar energy is actually a source of renewable energy. It can be used in

every corner of the world, i.e. it is always available. Solar energy is a never-
ending energy source

6. Electricity Bill Reduction

Since you will meet all your energy needs with electricity generated from
solar energy, you will get relief from the huge cost of the electricity bill.
How much you can save on your bill depends on your needs.

7. Maximum Usage

Solar energy is used for various purposes. Anything can generate

electricity or heat (solar thermal) by solar energy. Can deliver electricity to
areas without electricity, use it in factories, supply clean water, use it in
household chores, use for space satellites.

8. Technology Development

Industrial growth has increased due to the ever-increasing use of solar

energy and it is expected to grow rapidly in the future.
Altogether, the use of solar panels let you save electricity and get rid of
huge electricity bills just by utilizing the natural energy resource i.e. Sun.

around us
Heat defition
Heat, energy that is transferred from one body to
another as the result of a difference in temperature.
If two bodies at different temperatures are brought
together, energy is transferred from the hotter body
to the colder. The effect of this transfer of energy
usually, but not always, is an increase in the
temperature of the colder body and a decrease in the
temperature of the hotter body. A substance may
absorb heat without an increase in temperature by
changing from one physical state (or phase) to
another, as from a solid to a liquid (melting), from a
solid to a vapour (sublimation), from a liquid to a
vapour (boiling), or from one solid form to another
(usually called a crystalline transition). The
important distinction between heat and temperature
(heat being a form of energy and temperature a
measure of the amount of that energy present in a
body) was clarified during the 18th and 19th
centuries.
GHPs
Geothermal heat pumps (GHPs), sometimes referred
to as GeoExchange, earth-coupled, ground-source,
or water-source heat pumps, have been in use since
the late 1940s. They use the relatively constant
temperature of the earth as the exchange medium
instead of the outside air temperature.

Although many parts of the country experience

seasonal temperature extremes -- from scorching
heat in the summer to sub-zero cold in the winter—a
few feet below the earth's surface the ground
remains at a relatively constant temperature.
