Electronics Nuclear engineering In our daily life, the need of energy increases each and every day. The source of electricity is commonly from motor generators that is generate from the source of coal or other element of fuel. Another new way in this era is by using solar energy. The solar energy convert solar irradiation to power that can be used in common electric appliances. Since solar is a new type of source, the usage of the solar is still small compare to the old conventional ways.
