When harnessed, solar radiation can be converted into electrical energy with solar panels, for example, or converted into thermal energy (heat), which is easier to achieve. Solar hot water systems are widely implemented in China and nations such as Israel and Cyprus lead the world in per capita usage, while Australia, Canada and the United States mainly use solar water heating to heat swimming pools. Solar radiation penetrates the brine (impure salt water) through the covers, where it is collected and converted into heat, causing the water to evaporate. Even though solar energy can be collected on rainy or cloudy days, the efficiency of the solar panel system decreases... Solar energy is simply the light and heat that comes from the sun. Solar thermal technology, in which heat from the sun is used to produce hot water or...
