Question

How can solar energy be harnessed​

Answer 1

Answer:

by solar panels

Explanation:

Solar energy is the energy from the sun. It can be harnessed by using solar panels. Solar panels are a cluster of small silicon cells called the solar cells. It can be used to generate electricity. the solar cells are photo-electronic substances which absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy.

Answer 2

It can be harnessed in following ways :-

$\textbf{\underline{Direct\;Method}}$

1. Using solar heaters and solar cookers to store the solar energy as heat energy.

2. Converting solar energy with the aid of photovoltaic cells directly into electric energy.

$\textbf{\underline{Indirect\;Method}}$

1. By transforming the solar energy in the form of biomass plants into chemical energy.

2. Through using wind and water energies, tidal energy or ocean thermal energy etc.

You will learn enough about a specific gas property to understand the workings of solar heating devices. The use of a greenhouse demonstrates this peculiar gas property.
