Almost all our energy comes from oil, coal, and natural gas. We call them fossil fuels. The earth’s fossil fuels are running out. What will happen when there is no oil, coal and gas on the earth?
Scientists are trying to find and use other alternative sources of energy. We can use energy from the sun, the wind, and the water.
Solar energy is unlimited. The sun supplies all the energy used to grow plants, to evaporate water for rain, and to maintain the temperate of the planet. All are necessary for human life. If we are able to collect solar energy, we will be sure to have this abundant source od power.

Solar energy
Solar energy is the energy that we get from the sun and converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy is a renewable energy because it will never end as long as the sun remains. Solar energy is also pollution-free because there will be no pollution occurring while producing solar energy. Solar energy is not only pollution-free energy but also its maintenance cost is very low, so to maintain a solar power plant, less manpower is required than others. Also, one can get a non-stop power supply even in the rainy season with the help of solar panels. However, there are also some disadvantages of using solar energy like the initial setup cost of panels and battery is very high. To store the solar energy in a large number, one needs a personal room for the batteries. It pollutes the environment chemically.
