Solar Energy in UAE

Solar Energy

Solar energy is extracted from the rays of the sun it can be used to power simple household appliances and complex industrial appliances. Solar cells trap solar energy and convert it into thermal energy. They are enclosed within a glass panel which helps the cells trap solar energy effectively. Solar cells can be used to generate electricity using a converter which converts thermal energy into electrical energy. Solar power can be used to remove salt from sea water, heat water, power backup generators, wind turbines and nuclear power plants.

Solar energy can be harnessed in several ways they can be used as a backup power source in industries. Large scale industries install solar power plants which can convert sunlight into electricity this is done directly by using photovoltaics or indirectly by using concentrated solar power. Solar energy is abundantly available and it does not pollute the environment by the emitting harmful gases, expelling corrosive substance or contributing to noise pollution. It is a renewable source of energy which can be used in different applications. Household applications include the use of solar cookers, solar water heaters, solar powered wrist watches etc. Solar cookers use mono crystalline solar panels to trap solar energy they do not require the use of charcoal gas or electricity. Solar water heaters can be used in daily household applications to heat hot water tubs, Jacuzzis, sterilize equipments and boil food. Some popular locations to get in touch with solar panel retailers in UAE are Al Nakheel Deira, Damascus Street, SAIF zone Sharjah, Sheik Zayed road Dubai, Al Khaleej, Al Garhoud, Al Burj Street, Industrial area 12 and Silicon oasis.
