Solar energy is energy from the sun that can be used and used in one form or another. Solar energy consists of a variety of technologies that capture different forms of solar energy. Solar energy is used in a variety of ways, including heat, light, radiation and motion. It is possible to convert sunlight (radiant energy) into electricity using solar cells in the same way that a solar oven uses radiation. Solar technology is an alternative to polluting fossil fuels. Solar energy is being researched in the hope that one day it will be able to be transported and used cheaply to meet the planet’s energy needs. However, there is currently no permanent way to harness the power of the sun.
