This renewable energy is used primarily for two things, though not the only, first to heat things like food or water, known as solar thermal, and second to generate electricity, known as photovoltaics.
The main equipment used in thermal solar energy are the water heaters and solar stoves.
To generate electricity using solar cells, which are the soul of what is known as solar panels, which are responsible for transforming electrical energy. Its uses are not limited to those mentioned here, but these two utilities are the most important. Other uses of solar energy are:
- drinkable water
- solar heaters
- drying
- evaporation
- distillation
- cooling
As you can see the applications that can be given are very broad, and every day are discovering new technologies to make better use.
