I. Introduction- Solar Energy

Solar energy has existed for a long time. It’s not some new technology. There is a lot of information about how solar energy became what it is today. The discovery about solar energy and the first to invent about it was two very smart people. Without these certain people, maybe solar energy wouldn’t be what it is now.

In 1838, a French scientist by the name of Edmond Becquerel had observed and published the things we found about the nature of materials to turn light into energy. Even though the topic was much interesting, it was not enough for it to get into more deep details about it. In 1860, a man named Auguste Mouchout was the first to create a running motor on solar energy. Auguste was a French mathematician. He came up with the idea for solar-powered steam engines.

The more we use solar energy today than there might be a possibility that solar energy will improve in the future but who knows what will happen in the future. By this second, solar energy is being used more and more. The popularity of solar energy is gaining. Meanwhile, we’re saving lots of energy. Which is always is a good thing. Everyday the number of people who see the great benefits about solar energy increases. There’s a whole list of the advantages of solar energy and more people need to realize it. It’s also becoming more affordable for people. You also save money as well. Therefore, solar energy is helping us save energy, is getting cheaper, saves you money, and overall it’s helping the environment. You can see solar energy here and there. Today, it’s being used to power many homes, vehicles, and even businesses. You might not even know that there are houses out there that are actually built to use solar ...

The process of how this all work is very self-explanatory. First to start with the water tank. The water tank gets separated away from the solar collector. Inside the cold water moves through the tubes in the solar collector. Eventually, it pumps the hot water into the storage tank. Afterwards, the water travels into the house from the tank. Then you got yourself your water that gets heated by solar energy!

The storage tank is important as well. Without one, what will store the water? A storage tank is perhaps made by materials of plastic and metal. Its must be sturdy and not fragile. The insulation is the padding inside the storage tank. The tank itself has foam insulation about 2-3 inches inside. This helps keep the water, at high temperature, to stay in the tank. So, its pretty much important to have a storage tank to keep the water in.
