alternative energy systems
Alternative energy systems utilize natural sources like sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat to generate electricity or power, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, while wind turbines harness wind energy. Hydropower captures energy from moving water, such as rivers or dams. Geothermal systems tap into heat from beneath the Earth's surface. These technologies produce cleaner energy, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact. They are renewable because their sources are naturally replenished, offering sustainable and often cost-effective options for meeting energy needs now and in the future.
