Solar energy is defined as heat or electricity produced directly using the energy radiated from the Sun to the Earth. Solar energy is renewable energy and sustainable as it takes advantage of the unlimited production of the Sun, without producing pollution.
It has a large heat capacity. The solar waves that carry most of the solar energy ranging from 0.3 to 100 microns, ie, from ultraviolet to infrared. The visible part of the solar light is the one with the greater contribution of solar energy.
The high thermal capacity of solar energy can be harnessed for the production of electricity and for the production of domestic hot water and heating. The latter use is called Solar Thermal.
Solar Energy: Solar Panels.
Solar thermal can be used for the production of domestic hot water and space heating. In this case, you can replace the system of production of domestic hot water and heating that can be integrated to have a high-energy saving with solar panels.
Solar Energy: Photovoltaic Panels.
The installation of photovoltaic panels can ensure the production of electricity. Saving energy with photovoltaic panels can be obtained only during daylight hours, in the presence of the sun. The electricity produced can be sold and untapped, but you cannot store or accumulate in spare batteries.
The systems for the exploitation of solar energy are rapidly evolving. The energy-saving solar and its total environmental sustainability make it safe and convenient energy to be exploited especially in those climates where the presence of the Sun is relevant throughout the year, such as in southern Italy.
At the same time, solar energy has no contraindications if not that of the high costs for the production and installation of solar and photovoltaic panels.
