Human-induced climate change (HICC) is the increase in greenhouse gases caused by human activities. This has led to climate warming, which causes problems such as rising air and ocean temperatures and rising sea levels. A possible solution to this problem is represented by an alternative energy source. This is energy that is not based on the exploitation of fossil fuels. One area of an alternative energy source is solar energy. This essay will examine how solar energy is used, whether solar energy is a good solution to solve HICC, and the positive and negative aspects of solar energy's economic and environmental factors. Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun. It can create heat or electricity. Solar energy is divided into two different categories Passive and Active. Passive energy is energy that has been transformed into heat and active energy is energy that has been transformed into electricity. Solar energy is called an intermittent source because it is not always available due to the unpredictability of the sun. Even if it comes from the sun, which never runs out, if it is a rainy or cloudy day, the sun is not available to provide light. There have been systems designed with an energy storage function, which then allows the user to continue operating even when the sun is not shining. As shown in the image, solar energy is a very simple process. When there is sunlight on the photovoltaic panels of a solar PV system, the sunlight is captured and converted into direct electricity. The number of photovoltaic systems installed has increased in recent years because it is a clean and non-polluting source of energy. The energy a user will receive depends on the day.

This means that even when we cannot harness the sun's energy due to night or cloudy and stormy days, we can always rely on the sun. This can limit the amount of energy that will be saved for the future. One of the most important advantages of solar energy is that it does not create any pollution. Solar panels require very little maintenance to keep solar power running. The numerous advantages associated with the use of solar energy eliminate the disadvantage. Solar energy is a very useful energy source to help solve the problem of human-induced climate change. Solar energy will always be the most reliable resource because it will always be available. With an energy source like this, safe for the environment, it satisfies the energy needs of the entire plant.
