Whether it is generating power or heating water in domestic and commercial properties, solar energy is used for a wide range of applications. It can also be used for powering large commercial and industrial plants, supplying lighthouses and warning lights to vessels at sea, as well as running public transportation like buses and trains and powering water pumps in remote locations, such as farms and villages.
One hour of sunlight delivers more energy than the world consumes in an entire year, and solar technology offers us a way to tap this free source for sustainable power. No longer must we rely on fossil fuels, which emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. Solar energy is clean energy.

Photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electric current are the most common application for this type of power generation. Concentrated solar power technologies such as mirrors and lenses can also focus sunlight onto a hot surface to produce steam or to power a turbine, for example. Solar systems can be incorporated into buildings or homes to help cut utility bills, and they can be supplemented with batteries for non-daylight use.
Technology is advancing all the time and there will be increasing ways to use and apply solar power technology. In fact, we are seeing more creative uses for this abundant resource. An example are the houses run by solar power, affordably and efficiently. Another example is the Sol Cinema – the smallest solar-powered theatre in the world.
