Not just about solar panels
Sun is the real energy source that lives this earth. Many kinds of energy is actually converted from solar energy. We can make good use of solar energy by converting it to several kinds of energy, for instance:
- thermal energy (for cooking, water heating, space heating)
- light (a specific design of building can utilize sunlight optimally)
- chemical energy (so far it's done naturally by plants in the photosynthesis process)
- and some more
So, utilizing solar energy is not just through solar panels which are recently not affordable for most people. We should developing the other potential energy sources derives from solar energy.
