What are some uses of solar energy?

In developing nations such as India, solar energy is particularly helpful. Natural sources of energy are alternative energy sources that lower the price of electricity.

Solar panel installation can be costly, but once installed, the cost is zero. For example, in Rajasthan, India, where solar radiation is abundant, farmers use solar energy to carry out their operations. In fact, solar panels are installed in stadiums as well. Installing solar panels benefits both the state and the family's finances.

Some uses of solar energy include generating electricity through solar panels, heating water in residential and commercial buildings, powering outdoor lighting and streetlights, charging batteries for off-grid applications such as camping and remote telecommunications, and providing energy for agricultural applications such as crop drying and water pumping. Additionally, solar energy can be used for passive heating and cooling in buildings through the design and orientation of windows and building materials.
