2 · Solar Energy 101. Solar radiation is light – also known as electromagnetic radiation – that is emitted by the sun. While every location on Earth receives some sunlight over a year, the amount of solar radiation that reaches any one spot on the Earth''s surface varies. Solar technologies capture this radiation and turn it into useful forms
3 · Department of Energy. Since 2008, hundreds of thousands of solar panels have popped up across the country as an increasing number of Americans choose to power their daily lives with the sun''s energy. Thanks in part to Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) investments, the cost of going solar goes down every year.
Solar energy is used worldwide and is increasingly popular for generating electricity, and heating or desalinating water. Solar power is generated in two main ways: Solar
