| For thousands of years, we have been using sun for | | | | of satellite navigation that gets signals from a whole |
| making food and for drying clothes as well, but now | | | | host of such and works at its position of own. There is |
| we have been capable of using it for generating | | | | also a solar one power station that uses benefits solar |
| power and getting the benefits solar power. | | | | power like the heat of the sun for making steam and |
| Solar furnaces use a large array of mirrors for | | | | drives a generator for making electricity. They are |
| concentrating the energy of the sun into small space, | | | | very expensive to be built, but if fossil fuels are running |
| hence producing high temperatures. The temperature | | | | out and becoming more expensive, this station will |
| can be achieved up to 3,000 degree Celsius. Solar | | | | become the best option. |
| furnace is actually huge solar cookers. In hot countries, | | | | There are few advantages of solar energy and they |
| these solar cookers are used for cooking food. | | | | are: it is free and does not need any fuel and produce |
| Solar cells give the energy for running satellites that | | | | no pollution or waste. In countries that are sunny, solar |
| orbit the Earth. These provide us with the benefits | | | | power can also be used when there is no way for |
| solar power like weather forecasting, satellite TV, | | | | getting electricity to a remote place. Solar energy is |
| navigation, the internet, telephones and all types of | | | | handy for the use of low-power like battery chargers, |
| other facilities. | | | | solar powered garden lights and to help in your home |
| There is also GPS satellite, which is a receiver in a car | | | | energy bills as well. |
