Solar Energy as the Ultimate Renewable Energy Source

Abstract

Renewable energy is an energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished. This includes solar, geothermal heat, wind, tides, water, and various forms of biomass. Renewable energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed. Solar energy is energy from the sun, and it is considered as the ultimate renewable energy source because it can be used in many applications and it is independent of climatic changes. This paper thus x-rays the background study, principles and applications of solar energy as the ultimate renewable energy source.
