Solar Power is the electricity / heat that is obtained by harnessing the energy of the sun’s rays through various means. It involves the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity through various methods the most popular of which is Photo-Voltaic Panels for generating electricity and Vacuum Tubes for heating.

Using Solar Power has the following benefits

Benefits
Reduces Water Consumption

Solar power plants need small amounts of water for cleaning. Solar Pumps reduce water output on cloudy days when agriculture need lesser water.

Benefits
Reduced dependence on Fossil Fuels

Due to the reduced burning of fossil fuels for electricity and for heating it is a benefit to countries where most fossil fuels are imported.
