Solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun, has been harnessed by humans since ancient times by using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar irradiation, along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Only a minuscule fraction of the available solar energy is used.

Solar-powered electrical generation relies on heat engines and photovoltaics (PV). Solar energy's uses are limited only by human ingenuity. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via distillation and disinfection, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes. To harvest solar energy, the most common ways are to use solar panels: thermal and PV.

Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute solar energy. Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the Sun, considering the angle of the Sun for winter and summer, selecting materials with favorable thermal mass or light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally circulate air. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to harness the energy.
