Renewable source of energy means that this source is not exhaustible by its use in producing electricity or heat (steam) or mechanical energy.
An example is solar energy. Using sunlight to produce electricity through special devices, called photoelectric cells, will not exhaust sunlight coming to earth.
Fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal are examples of nonrenewable sources of energy as they are exhausted by their use.
