Solar power is harnessed through solar panels
Drying food by means of solar energy is an ancient process applied wherever food and climate conditions make it possible.
Hey there! Great question about solar energy! So, solar energy comes from the sun. Did you know that the sun sends out a lot of energy in the form of light and heat? We can capture this energy using special panels called solar panels. These panels are usually placed on the roof of a house where they can soak up the sunlight. Now, once these solar panels capture the sunlight, they turn it into electricity through a process called photovoltaics. This electricity can then be used to power things in our homes, like lights, TVs, computers, and more! To utilize solar energy at home, you would first need to install solar panels on your roof. These panels are connected to an inverter, which converts the electricity from the panels into a usable form for your home. The electricity generated by the solar panels can either be used directly by your household appliances or stored in batteries for later use, especially when the sun isn't shining. By using solar energy at home, you can reduce your reliance on traditional electricity sources that produce greenhouse gases. It's a clean and renewable way to power your home while also helping the environment. Isn't it cool that we can use sunlight to power our homes? If you're interested in learning more, you can explore how solar energy works and maybe even consider how you can use it in the future!
1. Heat: you can use the sun's heat for heating your home, cooking, drying clothes, and for hot water. 2. Power: you can generate electricity with solar panels.
Seasoning of timberSeasoning is the name given to the methods of drying timberThere are two methods by which timber can be dried:(i) natural drying or air drying, and(ii) artificial drying.Air dryingAir-drying is the drying of timber by exposing it to the air. The technique of air-drying consists mainly of making a stack of sawn timber (with the layers of boards separated by stickers) on raised foundations, in a clean, cool, dry and shady place. Rate of drying largely depends on climatic conditions, and on the air movement (exposure to the wind). For successful air-drying, a continuous and uniform flow of air throughout the pile of the timber needs to be arranged. Coating the planks with any substance that is relatively impermeable to moisture can control the rate of loss of moisture; ordinary mineral oil is usually quite effective. Coating the ends of logs with oil or thick paint, improves their quality upon drying. Wrapping planks or logs in materials, which will allow some movement of moisture, generally works very well provided the wood is first treated against fungal infection by coating in petrol/gasoline or oil. Mineral oil will generally not soak in more than 1-2 mm below the surface and is easily removed by planning when the timber is suitably dry.Natural seasoning of timberKiln dryingThe process of kiln drying consists basically of introducing heat. This may be directly, using natural gas and/or electricity or indirectly, through steam-heated heat exchangers, although solar energy is also possible. In the process, deliberate control of temperature, relative humidity and air circulation is provided to give conditions at various stages (moisture contents or times) of drying the timber to achieve effective drying. For this purpose, the timber is stacked in chambers, called wood drying kilns, which are fitted with equipment for manipulation and control of the temperature and the relative humidity of the drying air and its circulation rate through the timber stackKiln drying provides a means of overcoming the limitations imposed by erratic weather conditions. In kiln drying as in air drying, unsaturated air is used as the drying medium. Almost all commercial timbers of the world are dried in industrial kilns. A comparison of air drying, conventional kiln and solar drying is given below:1. Timber can be dried to any desired low moisture content by conventional or solar kiln drying, but in air drying, moisture contents of less than 18% are difficult to attain for most locations.2. The drying times are considerably less in conventional kiln drying than in solar kiln drying, followed by air-drying.1. This means that if capital outlay is involved, this capital is just sitting there for a longer time when air-drying is used. On the other hand, installing an industrial kiln, to say nothing of maintenance and operation, is expensive.2. In addition, wood that is being air-dried takes up space, which could also cost money.3. In air-drying, there is little control over the drying elements, so drying degrade cannot be controlled.Air-drying is the drying of timber by exposing it to the air.

Nuclear through solar
Solar energy can be harvested through solar panels and channeled to the house through a DC battery and inverter system. The battery system stores the electricity that has been received from the photo-voltaic cells (solar panels).
solar energy consist of both heat energy and light energy.light energy is used by green plants and this energy is stored in food particles that is created in leaves.heat energy is used by man for drying purpose.solar water heater are human created instruments using solar energy
