Active Solar Energy. Active solar energy technologies convert the energy of the sun into usable light and heat. An active solar system has the capacity to store energy for later use by storing it in batteries. An active solar energy system uses electrical or mechanical equipment or processes to increase the usable heat in a system.
Potential of solar energy. The small black dots show land area required to replace the world primary energy supply with solar power. Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam.
