Non-renewable Energy comes from sources
that will run out or will not be replenished in
our lifetimes - or even in many, many
lifetimes. Most non-renewable energy
sources are fossil fuels: COAL, PETROLEUM,
and NATURAL GAS.
Carbon is the main element in fossil fuels.

Renewable Energy is generally defined as
energy that comes from resources which are
naturally replenished on a human timescale,
such as SUNLIGHT, WIND, RAIN, TIDES, WAVES,
BIO and GEOTHERMAL HEAT.

SOLAR APPLICATION AND
TECHNOLOGY
Solar Energy is an energy
coming from the sun that is
converted to
1. Thermal or
2. Electrical Energy.
SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES AND
APPLICATION
Thermal Energy
Solar Thermal Technology is not the same as solar
panel, or photovoltaic, technology. Solar thermal
electric energy generation concentrates the light from
the sun to create heat, and that heat is used to run a
heat engine, which turns a generator to make
electricity or as water heater or assist our air
conditioning system.
SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES AND
APPLICATION
Thermal Energy
The working fluid that is heated by the concentrated
sunlight can be a liquid or a gas. Different working
fluids include water, oil, salts, air, nitrogen, helium, etc.
Heat storage is a far easier and efficient method,
which is what makes solar thermal so attractive for
large-scale energy production.
Heat can be stored during the day and then converted
into electricity at night.

Solar cells, also called photovoltaic (PV) cells by
scientists, convert sunlight directly into electricity. PV
gets its name from the process of converting
LIGHT
(photons) to ELECTRICITY (voltage), which is called
the PV effect.

Types of Solar PV Panels
1. Monocrystalline Silicon Panel - these are the most
efficient types of solar panels. In other words, when
sunlight hits these panels, more of it turns into electricity
than the other types below. As a result of their high
silicon content, they’re also more expensive, but you
need fewer of them. That’s why they’re ideal for roofs.
You can tell if you have a monocrystalline solar panel
by its square-ish cells.

2. Polycrystalline Silicon Panel - “Poly” panels have
lower silicon levels than “mono” panels. In general,
that makes them less expensive to produce, but
they’re also slightly less efficient. The physical
appearance of poly-silicon panels is their groovy
mélange of silicon woven through thin rectangular
conduit wires and they don’t mind the heat.
