Among all other renewable energy sources, solar energy is the best choice because of its abundance, and it is emitted by the sun at a rate of 3.8 × 10 23 kW, but only 1.8 × 10 14 kW of radiation reaches the Earth. All the available energy demands can only be met freely with solar energy because of its abundance in nature.
Introduction. The Sun is a medium-sized star in the center of our solar system that is a powerful and continuous source of energy. The Sun produces 3.8 x 10 26 watts (W) of power and 1.4 x 10 31 joules (J) of energy every hour. On a clear day at sea level, when the Sun''s rays hit perpendicular to the Earth''s surface, the Earth receives 1000 watts per …
