There are many types of green energy coming from a wide variety of sources. Some of these types are better suited to specific environments or regions, which is why there are so many renewable energy that filter into the energy grid.

​

Solar is a clean source of energy which comes directly from the sun. Stars, in general, produce an unimaginable amount of energy via nuclear fusion— the process by which smaller atoms are fused together by heat and pressure to create heavier atoms—with a whole lot of energy emitted in the process. This energy then reaches us via solar radiation, which we can collect and convert it into usable electricity.

​

Wind energy is actually another energy source powered by the sun. That’s because winds are caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere. This unevenness is affected by the topology of our planet, its spin, and how we orbit around the sun. Winds are further modulated by the surface they are passing over—either land or water.
