Energy from the sun comes in the form of heat and light. Plants convert light into biological energy through photosynthesis.
Photovoltaic cells and panels convert light to electric current. Heat from the sun can also be converted into mechanical and electrical energy by focusing the heat on a steam generator to run a steam engine or hot air engine.
Mechanical energy can be further converted into electricity, and electricity can be converted into mechanical or chemical energy.
You can easily develop your own bibliography on this topic. The internet is slam full of information uses for solar energy.
I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills.
