As the world faces the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, green energy has become an essential component of a sustainable future. Green energy, also known as renewable or clean energy, refers to energy obtained from natural resources that replenish on a human timescale. Unlike fossil fuels that emit harmful pollutants and contribute to global warming, green energy is essentially pollution-free and has minimal impact on the environment.
Ocean Solar has been working in the solar energy industry for many years. Among the various forms of green energy such as wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass, solar energy stands out for its abundance and versatility. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have revolutionized the way we capture and use solar energy, making it available for residential, commercial and industrial use worldwide. This article will provide an in-depth overview of green energy, with a particular focus on the development, advantages, challenges and future prospects of solar PV technology.
