Product Description
What is a photovoltaic cell?How does a solar thermal power station work?
Where is solar power used around the world?
Solar energy is the name given to any energy we get from the sun. But where does this energy come from? There are nuclear reactions happening in the centre of the sun all the time. These reactions give out huge amounts of energy. The energy moves out to the surface of the sun. It is given out into space in the form of radiation. The two main types of radiation are light and heat.
