uses sunlight that hits the solar thermal panels to convert the sunlight to heat either air or water Other methods of using solar power include simply opening up blinds or shades and letting thesunlight pass into the room or using some type of mirror to eat water and produce steam One advantage of solar power is that it is renewable As long as there is sunlight, you will be able to
