INTRODUCTION
Solar energy is in the form of the light and heat. About 30% of total energy received by the earth is reflected back towards the space. Remaining energy is absorbed by the clouds, oceans and land masses. The amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all of the Earth's non-renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas, and mined uranium combined. Solar energy is the primary energy source among all of the renewable source like wave energy, hydro-electricity, wind energy, biomass etc.

Itinclude
the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to harness the energy.
It include orienting a building to the Sun, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air.

SOLAR THERMAL
SODIS is a method of disinfecting water using only sunlight and plastic PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) bottles. SODIS is a free and effective method for decentralized water treatment, usually applied at the household level and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a viable method for it. UV-A rays from the sun destroys cell structures of bacteria. UV-A reacts with oxygen dissolved in the water and produces highly reactive forms of oxygen that are believed to also damage pathogens.
SOLAR COOKER
Principle : Sunlight is converted to heat energy that is use for cooking purpose. This is done as follows: Concentrating sunlight. Converting light to heat. Trapping heat Plastic Sheet
1. Box cooker
2. Panel cooker
3. Parabolic dish
SOLAR POWER
PHOTOVOLTAIC
Principle : Some materials release electrons when hit with rays of light, which produces an electrical current. This effect was discovered by Alexander-Edmond Becquerel. The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in the 1880. There are at least fourteen types of photovoltaic cells, such as thin film, mono crystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous cells, as well as multiple types of concentrating solar power. Efficiency is about 4.5% - 6% for silicon type of photovoltaic cells. Fig : 11 MW Serpa solar power plant in Portugal

Principle : Concentrate the sunlight at particular point to convert that energy into another form of energy.

Each concentration method is capable of producing high temperatures and correspondingly high thermodynamic efficiencies
They vary in the way that they track the Sun and focus light. Solar thermal is more efficient method to produce heat.

photovoltaic (CPV) systems employ sunlight concentrated onto photovoltaic surfaces for the purpose of electrical power production. Concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) systems classified as follows: Low concentration CPV (concentration of 2-100 suns)
This is surrounded by a large collector roof made from glass or resistive plastic supported on a framework.(Diameter in order of 130 meter.)
In the center of the chimney there is a wind turbine, which generate electricity using wind velocity which is due to the solar Energy.
