My Knowledge about solar by @goodybest

Hello friends I'm glad to be here, today I want to share with you my knowledge about solar energy, but first of all I would like to define what solar is; solar is pertaining to the sun, anything produced by the action of the sun or which is particularly affected by the influence of the sun. We've got to know what solar is now what's solar energy?
Solar Energy: is any kind of energy that is generated by Mr 🌞 Sun . This energy can either be harness directly or indirectly for man use. For example humans can convert this energy to electricity. Solar energy is natural, yes the energy from the sun help in warming our planet earth and makes life possible here.
Almost all life existing on earth is dependent on solar energy for food be it directly or indirectly. Producers or autotrophs are directly dependents on solar energy they absorb and covert energy from the sun into nutrients and this process is known as photosynthesis.
The fossil fuels is existed or made available through solar energy.
Solar energy: are replenishable resources of which several technologies can directly harvest and use in businesses, homes, hospitals and schools.
For the purpose of this contest I'll only discuss on the photovoltaic cells and panels. But before I delve into it, it's good to note that there are two methods of capturing solar radiation and converting into a usable energy. This methods are: Active solar technology uses either mechanical all electrical devices to actively convert solar energy into a different form of energy especially electricity or heat while passive do not use any external devices instead they take advantage of the climate. Remember I said I'll only discuss on the Photovoltaic cells and panels, because this is the type of solar energy that @ubongudofot wants to upgrade for maximal use. As I stated before photovoltaic technology can be installed on a smaller scale. Solar panels can be fixed either on exterior walls of a building or on the roofs, supplying electricity for the building. It can supply light on highway, solar cells are small enough to power smaller devices like parking meters, calculators and water pumps. BENEFITS OF INSTALLING SOLAR POWER IN A COMMUNITY & COUNTRY AT A LARGE: It is a renewable source of energy, we have steady unlimited supply of sunlight and this will continue in another billions of years. I was taught that the enough sun-lights that our Earth atmosphere receives for an hour is enough to power the electricity needs of all human being on Earth for one year. the energy is clean it doesn't need fuel to work doesn't emit harmful toxin using solar energy reduce the negative impact in our environment drastically. solar cookers are excellent alternative to cooking with stove or firewood it provides server and clean on way to sanitize cook food and water. it complements other renewable sources of energy like wind or hydroelectric energy. it says cars businesses and homes that install successful solar panels can produce excess electricity, of which can be shared with others. HAVE YOU USED FULL SOLAR ENERGY BEFORE OR ANY GADGET THAT HAS SOLAR AS IT'S SOURCE OF POWER, LIST AND TALK ABOUT THEM, WAS IT A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE? Yes I've used both full solar energy and gadget that has solar as source of power before. But I'll specifically speak about the gadgets! I made used of this radio, my Papa bought it back when I was in my early teen years. The radio batteries was powered by solar, I vividly recalled how amazed my siblings and I were when papa told us that the gadget is powered by solar, then we normally put the radio on the sunlight and we will make use of it in the evening, we will used the light and at the same time listening to the radio. If you ask me, the experience was simply amazing 🤩 a positive one, it really save cost. My momma bought this solar lamp for me almost 10years ago when I was in college, and it really save me cost, I mean sunlight is free so I only used to keep it outside when the sun shine, I like the lamp so much and I used it throughout my 5 years in college without any issue, but sadly my kids spoiled it 2020. But my experience with us was awesome!
Is a form of active Solar technology and the most familiar one to the world, it uses solar panels which are cells that helps in converting sunlight into electricity.
The photovoltaic technology has been used both in bigger and smaller scale, it's station has been built all over the world, but the largest stations are in USA, CHINA and INDIA .

Solar Energy is the best, because it natural and replenishable! It doesn't emit harmful gas and most importantly it save cost at the long run. Its only disadvantage over here is the cost of installing it. but generally I like it! Hello @gracyakan @akanuko and @eliany I would like to read about what you know about Solar Energy, join this contest here
Hello @goodybest, thank you for participating in the solar knowladge contest....
It's my pleasure!
Welldone, this is a detailed write-up and you said all about solar energy, is better than other source of light.
Thanks dear sis @gracyakan I hope you will join the contest
Sure! You're welcome

Very detailed and expansive write up!
I do hope we can get Nigeria and many other countries at large CLEAN ! 😊
I hope so too, thanks for your beautiful commendations!
Hello @goodybest, thank you for supporting the solar project in Nigeria, we appreciate your kind gestures.
It's my pleasure!
