Positive Effects of Solar Energy

Solar radiation is fundamental to life on Earth, providing the ceaseless supply of energy that fuels nearly every ecosystem on the planet. Beyond making our very existence possible, energy from the sun has for decades attracted attention as a clean, renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Though at present it supplies only a fraction of global energy, the solar industry is a rapidly expanding component of the renewable energy sector. While debate certainly continues over the cost, practicality and performance of industrial-scale solar installations, the technology offers much promise as a sustainable source of energy.

Solar Energy on Earth
The sun produces energy through thermonuclear fusion in its core; this energy is released from the star as neutrinos and electromagnetic, or solar, radiation.

Solar Energy for Electricity
Modern solar technology is divided into passive and active categories. Passive solar energy exploits the heat or light of the sun directly, as in a building designed to provide natural light.

Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Burning fossil fuels introduces greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases are so-named because they absorb outgoing long wave radiation from the planet and are thought to boost global temperatures -- a process somewhat similar to the function of a greenhouse.

More Sustainable and Resilient
As the IEA notes in a 2011 report, “Solar energy is the largest energy resource on Earth -- and is inexhaustible.” The amount of solar energy received by Earth in a year exceeds the energy that has been garnered from oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear sources in the history of humankind.
