Where is solar enery best suited to work?

You need to live in a sunny climate and, most importantly, you need to have your solar panels facing south. Without these things, the conventional wisdom goes, you're not going to get much benefit from a solar array


Some energy resources that are renewable or not in danger of running out are?

Wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal are the most commonly used renewable resources, and none are in danger of running out. However they are best used where most appropriate; solar energy is best used in desert areas like the American southwest, North Africa, and the Middle East, where the sun shines brightest. Wind is also efficient in the desert regions, along with the American midwest farm areas. Geothermal is popular in Iceland, where Alcoa built an aluminum smelter powered by geothermal, while Tidal power is used off the New England coast, and Germany's North Sea.


What are the two types of solar heating systems?

The two types of solar heating systems are active solar heating systems, which use pumps and fans to circulate air or fluid, and passive solar heating systems, which rely on building design and materials to capture and store heat from the sun.


What is renable source of energy?

There are four generally-accepted forms of renewable energy; these are resources that are not used up in producing power for human consumption. Please keep in mind that "renewable energy" and "alternative fuels" are not the same thing, even though they are sometimes used interchangeably. Biodiesel or nuclear power, for example, are alternative, as they are not included in traditional fossil fuels. However, they are used up (slowly in the case of nuclear), and are not strictly "renewable".Solar power: Uses dark-colored panels to collect the heat and light energy in sunlight. Solar panels can be arranged in large farms, or in smaller installations on homes. Many streetlights now run on small solar panels, and some hikers even use portable solar panels to charge their electronics.Wind power: Uses the wind to turn wind turbines. Windmills have been around for centuries, but using turbines for electrical power is a relatively new practice.Water power, or Hydroelectric: uses the energy in moving water to drive turbines. Hydroelectric plants are most often contained in dams, but sometimes take the form of wave motion generators, placed on bridge pylons or piers, where currents generate power. In the past, many mills were powered by a more primitive hydro system: the waterwheel.Geothermal: From Geo-, meaning "earth" and thermal, meaning "heat" or "energy", geothermal power generation utilizes a shaft drilled deep into the earth to gather heat generated by the movement of Earth's crust. In much the same way that burning coal is used to boil water, which in turn pushes a turbine, the Earth's natural heat is used to power turbines which produce electricity.


How many units generated from 1 MW of solar plant in a day?

The number of units generated by a 1 MW solar plant in a day depends on various factors such as location, weather conditions, efficiency of the solar panels, and time of year. On average, a 1 MW solar plant can generate between 1,500 to 2,000 units of electricity per day.
