What is Solar Energy? 4 4 8 Trillion 100 watt bulbs Million barrels of oil minutes The time it takes for light from Equivalent to the amount of solar energy Equivalent to the amount of solar energy the sun to reach Earth hitting the Earth every second that hits one square mile each year • Originates with the thermonuclear fusion reactions occurring in the sun. • Represents the entire electromagnetic radiation (infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-rays, and radio waves).

Types of Solar Radiation Direct Radiation "Direct radiation" is also sometimes called "beam radiation" or "direct beam radiation". It is used to describe solar radiation traveling on a straight line from the sun down to the surface of the earth . Diffuse Radiation "Diffuse radiation", on the other hand, describes the sunlight that has been scattered by molecules and particles in the atmosphere but that has still made it down to the surface of the earth. Direct radiation has a definite direction but diffuse radiation is just going any which way. Because when the radiation is direct, the rays are all travelling in the same direction, an object can block them all at once. This is why shadows are only produced when direct radiation is blocked.

The Fundamentals: 4 ways to use the solar energy Concentrating solar power Solar Photovoltaic Passive Solar Building design Solar thermal energy (CSP) (PV) Generates electricity Uses the sun’s daily Uses the thermal Uses concentrated solar through the direct and annual cycles to energy directly from radiation as a high conversion of sunlight maintain building the sun to heat temperature energy thermal comfort domestic water source to produce electrical power
