Basic Information On Solar Energy The energy which is produced by sun is called solar energy. The light energy which we receive from the sun can be absorbed, stored, converted and used for the domestic purposes. This is a wonderful source of energy which can cut your electricity cost to zero. With a small onetime investment on purchasing and installing solar panels and batteries you can meet the full requirement of your domestic electricity needs. There are different ways of collecting or absorbing of solar energy for the purpose of utilizing it. The heat of solar radiation is collected with the help of solar panels and stored in batteries as direct current which can be then used for any purpose after converting it into alternate current with the help of an inverter. One creative innovation of using solar energy is green houses which are built such that it collects the solar radiations and heat which is received from sun. It retains the solar energy with the help of special glass and plastics. The heat is then used to maintain the temperature of plants inside the green houses. As plants get optimum amount of solar heat and light and wastage is stopped to a large extent plants grow tall and healthy in such green houses. Another common innovation of using solar energy is to make the water of swimming pools and pounds hot during winter season. Bird baths which are made in many gardens is also connected with some equipment which uses solar energy to warm the water. In the regions where solar energy is not available all through the year batteries are used to store it for later use. In many countries governments are also noticing the benefits of solar energy and offering different grants and subsidies for the people who are making use of the solar energy to produce electricity. If many people start using solar energy it can be a substantial contribution of them towards economic growth of the country. It is for all these above reasons that solar energy is becoming more famous every day and more and more people are attempting to install solar energy absorption systems in their homes and gardens.
