Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP), or in combination.
Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants, and artificial photosynthesis.
MICRO-HYDRO SCHEMES
Large hydro: more than 100 MW and usually feeds into a large electricity grid.
Medium-hydro: 15–100 MW, usually feeding a grid.
Small-hydro: 1–15 MW, usually feeding into a grid.
Mini-hydro: Above 100 kW but below 1 MW; either stand-alone schemes or more often feeding into the grid
Micro-hydro: From 5kW up to 100 kW; usually provided power for a small community or rural industry in remote areas away from the grid
The wind is a clean, free, and readily available renewable energy source. Every day, around the world, wind turbines capture the wind's power and convert it to electricity.
Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power.
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water), or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and the like.
Wind energy is a form of solar energy. Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity.
