Electricity Generation Using Solar Energy The solar energy is one of the most renewable resources that many developed countries seek to achieve the greatest benefit and exploitation from it, because solar energy is a constantly renewable resource and will not end up like the ground resources, and solar energy is one of the clean sources of energy that It does not lead to any harmful emissions when used, as it does when using fossil sources that give us a small amount of energy and result in an extremely large amount of pollution that threatens life on the entire planet. There are many important and pivotal points related to solar energy due to the importance of this topic, such as defining solar energy, how to use it as a source of energy, and how to generate and store it. We will also explain the advantages of solar energy and the negatives of solar energy as well. The technologies that adopt solar energy are generally characterized as either passive solar energy systems or positive solar energy systems according to the way in which sunlight is exploited, transformed and distributed. Technologies that rely on the exploitation of positive solar energy include the use of photovoltaic panels and a solar thermal collector, along with mechanical and electrical equipment, to convert sunlight into other useful sources of energy. This, while technologies that rely on the exploitation of passive solar energy include directing a building towards the sun, choosing materials with appropriate thermal mass or light-scattering properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air. God created the sun and the moon as signs indicating the perfection of his power and the greatness of his power, and he made the sun's rays emit light on the earth and made the reflected ray from the surface of the moon a light. It will lead to sudden changes in its temperature, structure and atmosphere, and catastrophes may occur to such an extent that there is no survival for life. For the power of God Almighty alone made the scorching sun a mercy, warmth and source of energy, where the temperature of its center is about (408) x10 degrees in absolute (telephones) and then gradual Its temperature decreases until it reaches 5762 absolutely (Kelvin) at the surface. The energy of the sun is the main source of energy on the planet, and from there it was distributed and transferred to other energy sources, whether they were stored in wind energy and thermal energy in the ground of the earth and the energy generated from waterfalls and solar energy And other energy sources such as coal and wood, and since solar energy is the most important source of renewable energy during the next century, the efforts of many countries are directed to them in various forms and allocate the necessary sums for productive development T and research on the exploitation of solar energy as one of the 3 most important alternative energy sources for oil and gas, and it has given the largest share in research and applications to the field of converting solar energy into electricity, which is known as Photovoltaics, and this source of energy is the hope of developing countries for development as the availability of electric energy has become one of the most important The main factors for creating the basic structures in it
