Solar Energy
The tiny portion of the sun's energy that reaches the earth in one year is approximately 10,000 times the energy consumption of humankind during that same period.� Absorbed in the atmosphere and on the surface of the earth, it is responsible for the temperature range that enables our diverse ec...
