Solar cells
Solar cells (or photocells) turn light energy from the Sun
directly into direct current electricity.
Once the solar cell is built it produces no pollution and
requires little maintenance.
This makes solar cells
ideal for use in remote
locations where
maintenance is difficult
and other sources of
electricity would be
expensive.

Hydel Energy
Converts Potential
energy of water to
mechanical energy
and then to electrical
energy
One of the main
source of energy after
conventional energy
In india,
approximately 22% of
energy is from hydel

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
Geothermal
The thermal energy
contained in the
interior of earth is
called Geothermal
Energy
Use heat to make
steam which rotates
turbine for electrical
generation
