Solar energy, derived from the sun's radiation, is a renewable resource that can be converted into various forms of energy, including electricity and heat. This energy is measured as solar irradiance, with units in watts per square meter (W/m²). The sun's energy is abundant and sustainable, capable of meeting the world's energy demands if harnessed properly. However, the high cost of collecting, converting, and storing this energy poses significant challenges.
