What is solar energy?
To know where to find solar energy, you must first know what it is. Solar energy is the energy of the sun. When the sun is shining, solar energy is produced because it sends the heat that radiates to the earth. You can find solar energy anywhere or anything on which the sun can shine. There is a way to preserve sunlight to provide warmth in cold weather, as millions of people have done over the years. It began thousands of years ago, when people were able to use a thick lens or magnifying glass on an object that could attract sunlight onto that object and become so hot that it would kindled. This gave a new perspective on the strength of the sun's heat.
The problem with capturing the heat of the suns is that it does not reach the surface of the earth. It spreads evenly over the earth where sunlight can reach. When this happens, it can be difficult to heat something using only sunlight. Although the area or object may be hot if exposed to the sun for too long, it will not reach the maximum heating potential of sunlight.
To use heat efficiently to heat a room after sunset or when the sun can not shine due to clouds, you will need to use a source that will draw heat to a particular area. This source is called a solar collector. The solar collector attracts a lot of sun in a particular area, allowing the sun to cross the source and enter the space. The objects in space absorb and retain the heat of the sunlight and hold it so that it can not come out with the help of the source. Glass is an excellent solar collector because it allows the sun to cross and enter the space, but the heat of the sun can rarely escape, leaving space under the glass to warm up or warm up under the effect heat. Objects in the space help retain heat as it enters, so the space stays hot longer. This allows to heat the area using solar energy.
Because glass is a natural solar collector, it is therefore ideal to place it in a greenhouse or a sunny room. The glass attracts sunlight and captures the heat inside, so the temperature in the greenhouse or sunny room stays warm even at night, while the outside temperature can be cold.
Solar energy can be found everywhere the sun is shining, but for the heat to be filled, you need to benefit from direct sunlight for an extended period of time. If you simply use the morning sun to heat your home, it may not stay warm all night.
