Solar energy is the cleanest and most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. Solar radiation is the heat, light and other radiative energy that is emitted from the sun. Solar radiation contains huge amounts of energy and is responsible for almost all the natural processes on earth. The suns energy, although plentiful, has been hard to directly harness until recently.

Solar Energy can be classified into two categories, Thermal and Light. Photo-voltaic cells (PV) use semiconductor-based technology to convert light energy directly into an electric current that can either be used immediately, or stored, such as in a battery, for later use. PV panels are now becoming widely used as they are very versatile, and can be easily mounted on buildings and other structures. They can provide a clean, renewable energy source which can supplement and thus minimize the use of mains electricity supply. In regions without main electricity supply such as remote communities, emergency phones etc, PV energy can provide a reliable supply of electricity.

Thermal energy can be used to passively heat buildings through the use of certain building materials and architectural design, or used directly to heat water for household use. In many regions, solar water heaters are now a viable supplement or alternative to electric or gas hot water production.

Volga solar water heaters are becoming the standard choice for new home buyers in India. If you look across the rooftops in any Indian city you will see a large number of solar water heaters. In the Western market, where environmentally friendly, energy saving appliances are so highly regarded, Volga solar water heaters will surely become a highly sought after product.
