Solar power is the technology of obtaining usable energy from the light of the Sun. Solar energy has been used in many traditional technologies for centuries and has come into widespread use where other power supplies are absent, such as in remote locations and in space.

Solar energy is currently used in a number of applications:
* Heating (hot water, building heat, cooking)
* Electricity generation (photovoltaics, heat engines)
* Desalination of seawater.

Its application is spreading as the environmental costs and limited supply of other power sources such as fossil fuels are realized.

Energy from the Sun
Solar Radiation reaches the Earth's upper atmosphere at a rate of 1,366 watts per square meter (W/m2).[1] While traveling through the atmosphere, 6% of the incoming solar radiation (insolation) is reflected and 16% is absorbed resulting in a peak irradiance at the equator of 1,020 W/m².[2] Average atmospheric conditions (clouds, dust, pollution) reduce insolation by 20% through reflection and 3% through absorption.[3] In addition to affecting the quantity of insolation reaching the surface, atmospheric conditions also affect the quality of insolation reaching the surface by diffusing incoming light and altering its spectrum.

The image on the right shows the average global irradiance calculated from satellite data collected from 1991 to 1993. For example, in North America the average insolation lies between 125 and 375 W/m² (3 to 9 kWh/m²/day). [4] This is the available power, and not the delivered power. Photovoltaic panels currently convert about 15% of incident sunlight into electricity; therefore, a solar panel in the contiguous United States on average delivers 19 to 56 W/m² or 0.45-1.35 kWh/m²/day. [5] The dark disks on the second image on the right are an example of the land areas that, if covered with 8% efficient solar panels, would produce slightly more energy in the form of electricity than the total world primary energy supply in 2003. [6] While average insolation and power values offer insight into solar power's potential on a regional scale, locally relevant conditions need to be assessed to determine the solar potential of a specific site.


A recent concern is global dimming, an effect of pollution that is allowing less sunlight to reach the Earth's surface. It is intricately linked with pollution particles and global warming, and it is mostly of concern for issues of global climate change, but is also of concern to proponents of solar power because of the existing and potential future decreases in available solar energy. The order of magnitude is about 4% less solar energy available at sea level over the timeframe 1961–90, mostly from increased reflection from clouds back into outer space. [7]

After passing through the Earth's atmosphere, most of the sun's energy is in the form of visible and Infrared radiations. Plants use solar energy to create chemical energy through photosynthesis. Humans regularly use this energy burning wood or fossil fuels, or when simply eating the plants.

Solar Heating Systems
Solar hot water systems make use of sunlight to heat up water and these systems are found in domestic appliances that heat domestic water or for space heating and are basically composed of solar thermal collectors as well as a storage tank. There are three types of solar water heaters that make use of solar power and these are active systems that use pumps in order to circulate water or to heat transfer fluids and the passive systems that circulate water or heat transfer fluid through natural circulation and are known as thermosiphon systems and the third type is the batch system that use a tank that is heated by sunlight, directly.

Solar energy is free and inexhaustible natural energy.There are many solar solutions and products that utilize solar energy to save energy and protect environment. For example,solar evacuated tube, absorber tube, parabolic trough receivers ,solar PV panel, solar water heater ,solar light,solar cooker, solar tent/yurt,solar greenhouse and so on for solar power and industrial application.
Friendly Note: We propose everyone use energy-saving, low-emission products to protects white cloud and blue sky for ourselves and our later generations. Maybe you will not choose Himin’s solutions but please use solar products.
