Solar energy is used when the suns rays reach earth. We can use solar panels or plants to collect the suns energy. This energy
== can be converted into heat for air, water, and electricity. Plants store the energy from the sun where they grow. This is a process called [|photosynthesis].The energy from the plants is released when the plants are burned. [|solar thermal applications] can be used to heat liquids and heat buildings. When we want to convert energy to electricity we use [|photovoltaic applications.] ==
