Hydro power is the classic method. That works because the Sun's heat energy evaporates the oceans causing water vapour eventually to condense and fall as rain into mountain lakes.
The water in the high lakes has potential energy because it's high up, and it can be run down a chute so that it gathers speed and hits a set of turbine blades to drive a generator. That is a hydro power plant.
What else can I help you with?
An example of a renewable energy sourse is?
solar power, which harnesses energy from the sun using photovoltaic cells to generate electricity.
What are two ways the sun's energy can be used?
Growing plants through photosynthesis.Capturing sunlight with photovoltaic (PV) panels and changing it to electricity.
What are two natural sources of electricity?
there are three natural sources of electricity water, wind and sun or hydel power, wind power and solar energy
Which renewable energy options involve the use of heat from the sun?
ALL renewable energy depends on the sun for its power and existence EXCEPT geothermal, which is heat from below the ground.Solar power (direct from the sun)Hydro (water from the water cycle which is powered by the sun)Wave and tidal (gravitational forces caused by the moon and the sun)Biofuel (vegetation etc that needs the sun to grow)
What uses the sun to generate electricity?
Solar panels use the sun's energy to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect, where sunlight is converted into electricity using semiconductor materials. This renewable energy source is increasingly popular for powering homes, businesses, and even entire communities.
How can the sun's energy source be used directly?
Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.
How can you generate electricity from sun?
One way you can generate electricity from the sun is through a wind power plant.
How do we generate electricity?
We generate electricity from other forms of energy. Such as wind, sun, ect...
How can water heated by the sun make electricity?
Water heated by the sun can be used to create electricity through a process called solar thermal power generation. In this process, the heated water is converted into steam, which drives turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. This is a renewable energy source that utilizes the heat from the sun to generate power.
What is needed on solar energy farms?
As long as they have the sun, they can generate electricity. So the Sun :)

Does biomass energy need the sun to form electricity?
Yes. The vegetation etc that is burnt to generate electricity needs the sun to grow.
What photovoltaic panels do?
They generate electricity when exposed to sun light suitably
What is energy from the sun called?
Energy from the sun is called Solar Energy.
