One of the early and simple methods of using solar power is the use of greenhousees. A greenhouse is a building that gathers energy from the sun and traps the heat inside a building that uses special materials such as glass or plastics to trap the energy from the sun. Therefore, the greenhouse can provide warmth in relatively cold climates.
