ALTERNATIVE ENERGY CONTRACTING LTD
Solar energy involves capturing and harnessing the sun’s "free" energy.
There are three main ways of doing this:
- Passive solar design ensures that a building's form and fabric captures the sun's energy and reduces the need for artificial light and heating.
- Active solar water heating converts solar radiation into heat, which can be used directly or stored.
- Solar photo voltaic (PV) panels or solar cells convert daylight into electricity.
