Welcome to the Solar Portal

Solar energy is the energy, the earth receives from the sun, primarily as visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. The solar portal provides an overview of the information on energypedia related to solar energy. Look for specific topics, latest articles or uploaded documents and announce upcoming events.
