Director of the Energy Unit Bertil Brown Speaks on this year’s Caribbean Energy Month under the theme 'A RE-silient Community: Energy at the Centre'.Speaking on a special edition of the ECCB Connect Program, Mr. Brown gave some deeper insight into the theme and how it is significant to the Caribbean energy Sector.Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on Earth. It can be captured and used in several ways, and as a renewable energy source, is an important part of our clean energy future. The sun does more for our planet than just provide light during the daytime – each particle of sunlight (called a photon) that reaches Earth contains energy that fuels our planet. Solar energy is the ultimate source responsible for all of our weather systems and energy sources on Earth, and enough solar radiation hits the surface of the planet each hour to theoretically fill our global energy needs for nearly an entire year. Where does all of this energy come from? Our sun, like any star in the galaxy, is like a massive nuclear reactor. Deep in the Sun’s core, nuclear fusion reactions produce massive amounts of energy that radiates outward from the Sun’s surface & into space in the form of light and heat. Solar power can be harnessed and converted to usable energy using photovoltaics or solar thermal collectors. Director of the Energy Unit, Bertil Brown
