How Residential Solar Power Works – Re-Thinking Solar (Part 2)
Solar power is about creating an energy source with the use of sunlight. It uses the natural sunlight or artificial methods (such as glass windows and mirrors) to either enhance or subtracted from the energy produced by a power plant. Solar power is also called passive. This power plants usually produces electricity using fossil fuels such as coal, gas, nuclear, geothermal or hydroelectric energy. In most cases, the created energy is lost though evaporation in the air, condensation in indoor surfaces or more rarely, solar radiation will be absorbed by a static electricity source, often a bird or animal which makes a home near a solar panel. Though you might not initially think about it, solar power is also harvested through the natural cycles of air, land, sea and mountain.…
