The sun produces energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, a the rate of 3.94*10 KW. Only a small part of this energy arrives on the planet earth. The radiation energy produced by the sun can be transformed into Thermal Energy via heating a heat conducting fluid, usually water.

The use of this is very applicable and important in the densely populated areas, where the quality of air is also paramount. This process can avoid a Metric Tonne CO2/2M2.

Using these alternative power sources can mean avoiding the use of other traditional combustible energy sources, alleviating the impact caused during their extraction, conversion, transportation and combustion, therefore benefiting the water sources, the land and the atmosphere as well as the flora and fauna.

The utilisation of this alternative fuel also benefits the user as the procedures are clean and don’t leave and residue behind.

In a society which now appreciates the quality of life more and more, (respecting the environment, creating better urban plans etc) solar energy is a vitally important step forward. A study has shown that showering with water heated by solar energy produces less cramps and muscular lesions in top class athletes.
