Dwindling supplies of fossil fuels mean we’re in need of a new way to power our planet. Write a short note on, “How do we get more energy from the sun?”
Answers
Answer:
• We can get more energy from the sun by means of devices like solar panels, solar furnance, solar cookers, etc.
Explanation:
• We know that fossil fuels are exhaustible and non renewable natural resources, which means that it can be completely used up in the next hundred years at the speed at which we are using them. Also they take millions of years to form, that's why it is considered as non renewable resources.
• Because fossil fuels in limited we need to look for other sources of energy which are renewable. Such energies can be obtained by using wind energy, solar energy, tidal energy, etc.
• The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth, and that's why has the immense potential to generate energy from it.
• In India, the Government of India has taken various steps to utilize this potential, and the government had targeted to produce about 20 Gigawatts of energy by 2022 using rooftop solar harvesting systems.
• According to the report by the Ministry of Energy of the Government of India the production of energy using solar panels reached 34 Gigawatts as on 29th February 2020.
• The government also plans to expand the areas in which solar panels can be set up under the ambitious scheme called Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Surakhsha evam Utthan Mahaabhiyaan ( PM - KUSUM).
