Solar Energy Solar energy represents the earth's most abundant energy resource. Apart from its direct availability for diverse applications, solar energy is responsible for the creation of other renewable energy sources such as wind, flowing streams and rivers, photosynthetic production of biomass and thermal gradients in the ocean. Solar energy is being used by mankind from time immemorial for various purposes. More recent applications of solar energy, such as its direct conversion to electricity and transformation to thermal energy at various temperatures, have expanded its potential use enormously. It has a number of characteristics that make it a verv' desirable option to meet the increasing energy needs of a growing population like ours. A peren.nial source with an unlimited.
supply, solar energy has no negative impact on environment and is available everywhere freely. Its suitability for decentralised applications and envIronmentally benign nature make it a very attractive option to supplement the energy supply from other sources.
