Abstract

The Kraftwerk Sonne online course is a basic course on the subject of solar energy. Further information is covered in the courses Solar Energy, Solar Power and Solar Heat.
You will find out what this power does on our planet and how we can utilise solar energy. Where does the sun's energy come from?
The sun is a huge, glowing ball of gas. Without it, there would be no light, no heat and no life on earth. The sun's energy can be used to heat and generate electricity.
Today, we mostly use crude oil and natural gas. However, these fossil fuels will be used up in the foreseeable future, which is why renewable energy sources, such as the sun, are becoming increasingly important. You can find out more about this in this online course.
