There are various reasons due to which human beings need to adopt renewable energy and refrain from or reduce the consumption of nonrenewable energy. Nonrenewable energy refers to the energy that is produced through resources that do not produce themselves or are available in a limited quantity such as energy produced through fossil fuels. One of the reasons due to which renewable energy should be adopted by society is to reduce the consumption of nonrenewable energy sources and to ensure that these sources do not end up becoming extinct. This will even help in ensuring that future generations have access to energy sources other than fossil fuels and can continue to benefit from these sources. During the period of 2002, CRC reported that nonrenewable energy sources such as petroleum, gas, and coal are depleting at a very fast pace and by the period of 2100, 2168, and 2232 world petroleum, gas, and coal reserves will reach complete depletion (CRC, 2002). Another reason due to which renewable energy resources need to be adopted is that renewable energy sources are much environment friendly as compared to non-renewable ones. Nonrenewable energy sources are one of the main sources of emission of carbon dioxide in the environment and are one of the major causes of global warming. A study was conducted by Ellabban et al. and the researchers reported that renewable energy sources such as solar power, geothermal energy, and wind energy sources do not cause any form of air as well as water pollution (Ellabban et al., 2014). Other than these two benefits there are several other benefits associated with the adoption of renewable energy sources. .
There are two different ways through which solar power or electricity generated through solar energy takes place. These two methods include the Photovoltaic and Concentrated Solar Power. Photovoltaic solar power produced energy and electricity with the utilization of solar cells that are required for the conversion of sunlight into smoothly flowing electrons. .
