Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the Sun, has been harnessed
by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies.
Solar radiation, along with secondary solar-powered resources
such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account
for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minuscule
fraction of the available solar energy is used.
Solar
powered electrical generation relies on heat engines and photovoltaics.
Solar energy's uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial
list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling
through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and
disinfection, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and
high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.
Solar
technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar
or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and
distribute solar energy. Active solar techniques include the use
of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to harness
the energy. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building
to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or
light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally
circulate air.
