Renewable energy
renewable energy sources definition
Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished. This includes sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides, water, and various forms of biomass. This energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly
Solar energy
Renewable energy - solar panels
Sunlight is one of our planet’s most abundant and freely available energy resources. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth’s surface in one hour is more than the planet’s total energy requirements for a whole year. Although it sounds like a perfect renewable energy source, the amount of solar energy we can use varies according to the time of day and the season of the year as well as geographical location.
Wind power
Renewable energy - wind farm
Wind is an abundant source of clean energy. Wind farms are an increasingly familiar sight, contributing more and more to the national network. To exploit electricity from wind energy, turbines are used to drive generators which then supply electricity to the national grid.
