The document discusses renewable energy resources and selects solar energy as the focus. It provides an introduction to renewable energy, noting that most renewable energy sources originate from solar radiation. Solar energy is selected for the report due to its efficiency and effectiveness at generating electricity. Specifically, solar panels can harness sunlight and convert it directly into electrical energy or store it in batteries for later use. This allows solar power to be applied across commercial, residential and industrial sectors.

1. Abstract
The world is fast becoming a global village due to
the increasing daily requirement of energy by all
population across the world while the earth in its
form cannot change. The need for energy and its
related services to satisfy human social and
economic development, welfare and health is
increasing. Returning to renewables to help
mitigate climate change is an excellent approach
which needs to be sustainable in order to meet
energy demand of future generations.Despite these
opportunities, there are challenges that hinder the
sustainability of renewable energy sources towards
climate change mitigation. These challenges include
Market failures, lack of information, access to raw
materials for future renewable resource
deployment, and our daily carbon footprint.Achieve
the goal of renewable energy thus to reduce
emissions, mitigate climate change and provide a
clean environment as well as clean energy for all
and future generations.

2. Introduction
The term "renewable energy" refers to energy that
flows naturally through the environment on a
continual (though time-varying) basis. The origin of
most of these energy flows is the solar radiation
incident on the earth’s surface. Notable exceptions
are tidal power which results from the gravitational
force between the moon and the earth, and
geothermal energy which flows from the heat which
is continually discharged from the core of the earth.
Direct solar radiation is itself converted naturally
into a number of other energy flows: wind energy
arises from thermal gradients across the earth’s
surface; wave energy results from the interaction
between the winds and the oceans; hydroenergy
comes from the potential energy stored in the
hydrological cycle; and bio-energy (or biomass
energy) refers to the chemical energy stored in
living organisms (usually plants) via the process of
photosynthesis.
Renewable sources of energy are as the term
suggests, “renewable”. They are basically limitless
sources of energy. These are the energy sources
which can be used infinitely because these sources
are natural and be easily replenished by nature. And
most important of all, these are clean sources of
energy which do not cause pollution of the
environment, and this is what makes them all the
more desiring if the world turns its attention to it.
Renewable sources of energy include
◾ Geothermal energy
◾ Wind energy
◾ Hydro energy
◾ Biomass energy
◾Solar energy
And there are much more etc.Fossil fuels like coal,
petroleum and natural gas are generally believed to
have been formed from decayed biomass. The
energy which is stored chemically within such fuels
is therefore also solar in origin. The critical
difference between renewable and fossil energies is
analogous to the difference between a current
account and a deposit account. The renewable
"current" account is constantly replenished by
incoming solar (and gravitational) energy. However,
the "deposit account" of fossil fuels was
accumulated over many thousands of years of
biological activity and is replenished, if at all, only
very slowly.
3. Resource selection & Reasoning:
The renewable energy resource that we have
selected for this report, is Solar energy. It is a good
source of energy that has a lot of benefits in a lot of
departments of life, whether they are commercial,
residential or industrial.

Solar energy is the type of renewable source of


energy that directly involves the sun. It is the type
of energy that is the light and heat of the sun that
comes to the earth in the form of UV rays. And then
these rays can be harnessed by us and implemented
into various applications such as electricity, solar
heating, water treatment, and cooking etc.Solar
panels powering appliances
The reason for the selection of this energy resource
is simple. It’s efficient and effective. Although its
effectivity and efficiency heavily depends on the
location of the place where it is going to be
implemented. And in our situation, it is going to
exhibit its use in the generation of electricity.The
quantity of sunlight that the earth receives in just a
short time, lets say, an hour or 90 minutes is
sufficient satisfy the world's energy requirements
for a year. Solar technology is useful in converting
the solar rays entering Earth into electrical energy
through the use of PV (Photo-Voltaic) panels or
even by mirrors which concentrate the sun’s
radiations.
This power may be directly used to generate
electricity or they even be stored in batteries to be
used later on, thereby extending their application
and effectivity.
