Their next step was to understand that the high temperature produced from the Sun has the ability to heat water, cook food, dry clay bricks and incalculable other purposes. Nowadays there are systems that can passively warm the living areas of a house and also the water that is used in the home.
Electricity is formed by utilizing sun light energy. The technology that does this is known as the photovoltaic (PV) cell.
