light energy or sun rays from the sun

*******************************

If you mean an alternative renewable energy source to solar, examples would include: Geothermal, wind generators, hydroelectric etc.

There are two ways that Solar energy is currently used to create electricity: Photovoltaic (Solar Cells) and Solar Thermal (the sun heats a liquid which then drives a turbine).
