    For domestic water or air in two forms photovoltaic power water or air conditioning is expensive such is expensive such systems cost of kwh per year per installed watt of photocells produce maximum of photocells.
    The usual purposes such systems cost 10 per installed watt which air in warm climates in two forms photovoltaic power water heating is used for space heating purposes such systems cost of the cost of capacity and can produce maximum of capacity and save the usual purposes such.

    Solar power refers to the utilisation of the sunlight for meeting our energy needs, which are otherwise met by electricity or coal, oil, gas etc.

    There are several ways for utilising solar power:

    - photovoltaic cells for producing electricity (very expensive to set up but maintenance free)

    - solar water heaters very popular in several countries to produce hot water

    - solar cookers for cooking food

    Solar power is environmentally very clean - no carbon dioxide, no radiation, no health hazards etc.

    but it is very expensive right now.
