    “Even if we didn 't have greenhouse gases, were going to have to move away from fossil fuels, as we 're going to run out. They 're finite, where as solar and wind are infinite.” - Ted Turner. Solar panels use the energy that comes from sunlight to give power. Low-temperature collectors are flat plates generally used to heat pools. Medium-temperature collectors are also usually flat plates but are used for heating water or air for residential and commercial use. High-temperature collectors concentrate

    Introduction The humanity needs energy for a successful existence. However, the amount of fossil fuel is decreasing every day. Proved global reserves of oil and gas, at current rates of consumption, would be adequate to meet demand for another 40 and 60 years, respectively. Moreover, using of traditional sources of energy causes the greenhouse gases emission. These gases keep heat energy of electromagnetic waves at lower atmosphere. The process that produces this difference between the actual surface
