RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale. These resources include solar radiation, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy can provide energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating and space cooling.

Conventional fuels such as oil, gas and coal, termed fossil fuels, are used for power generation and in industrial settings for heat generation and space cooling. They have been identified as the culprits responsible for global warming because when burned in the presence of oxygen they produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that linger in the atmosphere and restrict the escape of heat from the Earth into space. This upsets the fragile heat balance of the planet.

Renewable energy systems have been identified as technologies that can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. By using renewable energy systems in your home or business, you can reduce your personal contribution to global warming and save on your electric and fuel bills at the same time. It’s a win-win approach that will help save our planet and its wonderful resources for future generations to enjoy.
