How does one define home renewable energy? It can be defined as the energy derived from natural sources, which, in turn, is easily replenished over a short amount of time. Nonrenewable energy, on the other hand, is obtained from limited natural resources. A good example of a nonrenewable energy source that is unfortunately irrevocably diminishing is fossil fuel (coal, petroleum, and natural gases) as demonstrated by inflation of prices.
There are four types of renewable energy. All four are directly or indirectly associated with the sun:
1. The Solar Energy – Solar energy is defined as the radiant energy generated from the sun. The intensity of solar energy reaching the earth’s surface depends on several factors namely: day of the year, time of day, and collection point. Solar energy quantity, on the other hand, relies on the location of the collecting medium.
