Solar Power - Harnessing Sun’s Energy

The video discusses the vast potential of solar energy, which can provide more energy in a short time than the world uses in a year. It explains the two main methods of harnessing solar power: photovoltaics, which convert sunlight into electricity, and solar heating panels, which heat water. Photovoltaics are growing rapidly but face challenges like high costs and inefficiency. Solar heating panels are durable and low-maintenance but also face storage issues. The video highlights the need for improved technology to make solar energy a mainstream power source.
