Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource.

Passive solar collectors utilize sunlight to warm confined air.

Active solar collectors use pumps to move heated water or air

Solar collector facilities use mirrors to focus sunlight onto a collection tower which heats water to produce steam

Photovoltaic cells convert the sun’s energy directly into electricity.
