Do you have any idea about the different types of renewable energy?

Solar photovoltaic: This energy source makes it possible to directly obtain electricity from solar radiation. Among its main characteristics is that it is renewable, inexhaustible and non-polluting since to obtain this energy it relies on photovoltaic solar panels. One of the great advantages of this technology is that it is modular: the panels can be used for self-consumption or to supply the electricity grid through power plants.Solar thermal: This system takes advantage of the heat provided by the Sun. In this energy the process is as follows, solar radiation is used to become thermal energy and to heat a fluid, some examples are: heating or domestic hot water. To achieve this process, solar panel technology and thermosiphon equipment are used.Passive Solar: This energy uses direct energy from the sun without undergoing any change process, this type of energy does not It is based on electronic devices for its use.Some examples of this type of energy are the orientation of a house when built in order to take advantage of the sun in certain seasons of the year, as well as the type of windows on walls or ceilings for maximum use of solar energy.
