The basics of solar energy is that the sun's radiation reaching the earth mainly consists of visible light and infra-red waves. The infra-red provides direct heating to the earth and atmosphere, and this radiation can also be captured and used to heat water for domestic and industrial purposes. The visible radiation, ie light, can be used in solar photo-voltaic cells or panels to produce electricity.
