Solar Energy

Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that travels on linear paths from its origin on the sun. It plays an essential role in the regulation of the earth’s temperature and the evolution of plant and animal life on the planet.

It is increasingly harnessed for other purposes through a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.
