Hello and welcome back to Energy Warsim. Today I want to go out into the countryside and
talk about solar energy, that's it, chucking it down. That's ironic really isn't it? In
today's video we're going to discuss whether solar energy is a renewable or non-renewable
source. Not only will we answer this but we will give you a list of non-renewable and
renewable sources. We shall also discuss the future of solar energy and much, much more
This video is coming off of How It Made For You. So let's get started. Enjoy
The quick and simple answer to the question, is solar energy renewable or non-renewable
Yes, it is a renewable source of energy. But why? Well, scientists believe that the sun
has another 5 billion years of energy left in its lungs to harvest. On a human time scale
we would receive a constant source of energy, therefore making it a renewable source of
energy. Using solar panels to harvest the sun's energy is also a clean process and it
emits no pollutants or greenhouse gases which is excellent for the environment too. Why
is solar energy renewable? Comparing solar energy to fossil fuels such as coal and natural
gas that we have to mine, well we quickly see that fossil fuels are practically finite
meaning that once we have exhausted their supply we can never replace them and we will
eventually run out of them one day, thus making fossil fuels non-renewable sources of energy
Every day the sun will rise and earth will be flooded by the sun's rays for us to harvest
generating hot water and electricity daily, no matter the strength of the sun in regards
to the seasons or adverse weather. A list of 6 renewable energy sources. Solar energy
biomass energy, wind energy, tidal energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy. A list of
non-renewable energy resources. Non-renewable energy resources are carbon based fossil fuels such as the ones listed below. Coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear energy. What is the importance
of solar energy? The importance of solar energy to us is that it being an important renewable
energy resource permitting us to generate electricity and heat water on a daily basis
for free and that's only mentioned in two uses of its limitless solar supply. Yes, of
course we have to pay for the initial manufacturing of solar panels, but once installed they burn
no fuel which is great for the environment. One other importance of solar energy is that
it becomes a low maintenance and low cost source of energy. Solar energy being a clean
and safe source of energy not only can that climate change by reducing carbon dioxide
levels but lessens the risk of health hazards as there are no pollutants to breath in. A
basic standard for many PV systems is that solar panels will last at least 25 years
Stop and think about the effect this will have on the environment during this time span
and then scale it up if more solar panels move aboard in your city thus making solar
energy a cheap and reliable energy source. So what will happen once solar panels reach
the end of their efficiency? Well we can simply recycle them by extracting the elements that
go to construct them such as copper, glass and aluminium. These elements can then be
used to make new or refurbished solar panels instead of ending up in landfill sites etc
The importance of solar energy to provide electricity or hot water for small isolated
villages to large towns could be solved by utilizing land that cannot be farmed such
as deserts, rain unsuitable for growing crops or inhospitable terrain such as key hillsides
This may prevent the destruction of habitats where animals live and threaten the destruction
of forests, the lungs of the world. As we become more informed about the benefits of
solar energy more and more people around the world are starting to install solar panels
on their properties and companies are developing products and services related to solar power
This in turn creates more job opportunities as demand increases. Once you have solar panels
installed at home, you then become financially free of rising energy bills that seem to increase
annually. When you produce your own electricity and become independent of utility companies
you lessen the chances of blackouts when utility companies fail to supply you with electricity
for numerous reasons such as down cables. If you are producing your own power you will
not be affected by this, you simply get it on. You may even have a surplus amount of
energy stored in batteries at home which you can then sell back to the utility company
Wouldn't that be nice? Will solar energy be used more in the future? Solar power is a
choice, a great one however, there are places where wind turbines will be a much preferable
alternative over solar power. Why? You can make your decisions on this, shady spots against
luxury spots. But solar energy is produced from the ultraviolet rays which reach solar
panels even on a cloudy day. But, my decision is, solar power energy not exclusively will
profit in the future, it will be an important innovation for financial advancement in numerous
nations. It's something exceptionally simple to do at home or anyplace else. To start with
if you can get a manual do it without anyone else's help and start accepting the advantages
of these three innovations. All the information has shown that solar energy will be used more
in the future on large scale. Some Advantages of Solar Energy. There are numerous advantages
of solar energy, yet what is the best? That is somewhat emotional, in this way, because
of that, here's one essayist's interpretation of what the best advantage of solar energy
is. I have a whole article named Updated Solar Energy Advantages and Disadvantages which
is an interesting read. Free, Abundant, and Renewable. What number of energy sources would
you be able to portray at free, plentiful and sustainable? The appropriate response
is one. Solar Energy. What's more, in that untrue, presumably the best advantage of solar
energy, the way that there is such a large amount of it in that it contacts us at no
expense to us. And that it's there for us every single day, 365 days per year. It is
difficult to envision a more noble if it conferred position. The sun's energy contacts us in
the past of light and warmth, and we all can export that energy for nothing consistently
Indeed, in all honesty, you most likely as of now are exporting it, although you may
not understand it. Without a doubt, I'd know whether I was using solar energy. Wouldn't
I have full a palette board on my rooftop, remember that we said solar energy was free
and plentiful? However, that is absolutely what you're getting each day when you open
your window hanging so much to daylight and want them to supply you with free light and
This is an idea known as Inactive Solar Energy. And if you have materials in your home that
can hold heat, for example, solid floors and dividers, these materials will retain heat
keeping your home pool throughout the late spring, and discharge the warmth as the temperature
in your home pool, keeping you warmer on the evening time. Protecting the environment
The next is the most well-known ecological advantage of solar energy. There is no mystery
in the way that over-exploitation of the earth's non-sustainable assets will lead to their
lack of greater expenses and outrageous contamination. We can't depend on non-renewable energy sources
to make energy since the costs that were in the end vanished. What's more, proceeding
to consume petroleum derivatives will cause significantly more contamination than today, and this will influence the atmosphere and individuals' well-being. Going to a perfect
protected, sound and inexhaustible source of energy gets basic. No pollution. Solar
isn't just free and plentiful. It's additionally contamination-free. The warmth and light you
get from the sun is delivered because of the regular procedures of the sun and creates
no toxin or carbon outflows. Photovoltaic power is created by solar boards employing
a procedure known as the photovoltaic impact, which produces DC, direct current, powerful
and responsive daylight on materials, for example, selenium and silicon. The procedure
uses no fuel to start it so no carbon outflows are engaged with the age of the power and
no carbon emanations or poisons are delivered because of the procedure. Power provided by
the service organizations is predominantly produced utilizing petroleum products, which results in a lot of carbon discharges and contamination, all of which contributes legitimately
to the developing marvel known as a dangerous atmospheric deviation, which is representing
a genuine risk not exclusible to the Earth yet in addition to huge numbers of lifeforms
whose presence is being undermined by the fast changes occurring in nature. Get your
electricity free. If you somehow happen to put resources into a solar electric framework
you would not exclusively do harm to the Earth by decreasing your dependence on your utility
and therefore diminishing the utilization of non-renewable energy sources and the resultant
measure of carbon emanations, yet you likewise see lessening your power bill, or maybe, in
the end, dispensing with it. The greater power created by your solar electric framework
the less power you'll require from your utility and the lower your power bill will be
I hope you found that interesting and informative. If you did, please give me a thumbs up. Not
only will you be helping me, but you'll also be doing your good deed for today
