On October 12, the first theory-practice meeting on alternative energies took place for the members of the Fraternity Light-Community of Aurora<\/a>. The first course presented the water-heating system that uses solar energy. The goal of this course is not only to provide information on the use of these renewable energies, but also to stimulate interest in these systems that are fed by natural and unlimited sources.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, it is more and more present in the consciousness of humanity that conventional energy sources are not only finite, but that their process and use create polluting waste on the planet; all of this leads to the need to begin implementing clean and renewable energy systems. A renewable alternative energy is one that can be substituted for conventional energies or energy sources, with a lesser contaminating effect and basically with possibility for renewal.<\/p>\n

The Light-Community has various renewable energy systems installed, especially those fed by solar energy, and it was necessary to become aware of its use and maintenance. The most used system is the heating of water by sunlight, which was explored more deeply in this first stage on a theoretical and practical level. The theory part included basic concepts such as the meaning of energy and heat, the explanation of the laws that govern this system in particular, and its components. The practical part consisted in the observation of the mechanism and the calculations that establish its functioning, the identification of the components of the solar water heater and the testing of the temperature of the water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
