    1. About the renewable energy

    Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that is collected from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation and countrified (off-grid) energy services.
