Solar Energy
Solar Energy
Solar energy is any type of energy generated by the sun.
Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun’s core and fuse to create a helium atom.
This process, known as a PP (proton-proton) chain reaction, emits an enormous amount of energy. In its core, the sun fuses about 620 million metric tons of hydrogen every second. The PP chain reaction occurs in other stars that are about the size of our sun, and provides them with continuous energy and heat. The temperature for these stars is around 4 million degrees on the Kelvin scale (about 4 million degrees Celsius, 7 million degrees Fahrenheit).
How solar is used
Solar energy is a very flexible energy technology: it can be built as distributed generation (located at or near the point of use) or as a central-station, utility-scale solar power plant (similar to traditional power plants). Both of these methods can also store the energy they produce for distribution after the sun sets, using cutting edge solar + storage technologies. Solar exists within a complex and interrelated electricity system in the U.S., working alongside other technologies like wind power to transition the U.S. to a clean energy economy.
All of these applications depend on supportive policy frameworks at the local, state and federal level to ensure consumers and businesses have fair access to clean energy technologies like solar.

About Us
In 2010, with the foresight that collective action is imperative for a sustainable future, Green World Trust embarked on a mission to cultivate a "Greener Future." This endeavour took the form of "Green Indians," a unifying label transcending distinctions and calling on individuals to unite under a common cause.
About Green World Trust:
Green World Trust, born from the conviction that a Sustainable Planet begins with individual actions, is an initiative dedicated to fostering a Green Lifestyle. The mission is clear – EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, and REWARD individuals for their contributions to the environment. While the looming threat of Global Warming is widely acknowledged, Green World Trust recognize the power of small, daily actions in reducing emissions. The initiative is not just about raising awareness but also about acknowledging and rewarding those who actively engage in environmental preservation.
