Solar energy can prove to be a great way of making some worthwhile savings. Solar energy can be used in a number of ways. From using its heat to boil water to using its light to generate electricity, solar energy can be an energy savers delight. Solar energy can be tapped passively as well as actively.

The passive solar techniques involve designing the house in such a way that it maximizes sun exposure. This can be done by selecting materials that absorb sun?s energy well, designing spaces that naturally circulate air, and positioning buildings to maximize sun exposure.

Active solar techniques involve the usage of devices that help in tapping the sun?s energy. This includes using devices like the photovoltaic panels, pumps, and fans which convert sunlight into electricity. Solar energy industry is still in the nascent stage and offers a great deal to its investors.
