What is solar energy and what are solar energy products?
The sun emits electromagnetic waves in the form of its rays called radiant energy which when utilized according to human requirements is called solar energy. The conversion of this solar energy into mechanical or electrical power is called solar energy. There is various solar energy products used in the process like photovoltaic cells, solar chimney, solar water heaters etc. The radiant energy emitted by the sun or solar radiation as it is aptly called, is absorbed by the upper layers of the earths atmosphere. Majorly this energy is absorbed by the land masses, water bodies and clouds and approximately thirty percent is reflected back. This solar energy absorbed by the earths atmosphere is captured and devised to get output energy in different forms such as mechanical energy, electric energy and even chemical energy. Solar power generator is one of the happening technologies involving the solar radiation.
