The benefits of solar energy for nature, especially humans, are numerous. This is because the sun is the greatest source of energy on earth. What are the benefits of solar energy for humans?
Quoted from the book Smart Arif for Grade 4 Primary Schools by Christiana Umi, the sun as the largest source of energy radiates heat and light to the earth.
This sunlight also illuminates the earth so that we can see all living creatures and objects during the day. Exposure to the sun’s heat also causes life on earth.

Benefits of solar energy for humans
For human life and other living creatures in general, the sun has a very important role. Here are some reviews to tell your little one, Mother:
1. Source of vitamin D formation
Sunlight in the morning also helps the process of forming vitamin D, which is especially beneficial for bone growth in children. Vitamin D also plays an important role in regulating calcium and maintaining phosphorus levels in the blood.
In adults, vitamin D deficiency is associated with several diseases, including osteoporosis.
2. Power source
The sun can be an environmentally friendly and safe energy source as an alternative energy source. This source can be electrical energy obtained from the photovoltaic technology process (solar panels). Solar panels allow the sun’s radiant heat to be converted into electrical energy.
3. Drying process
Quoted from the book Science Learning in Elementary Schools by Nelly Wedyawati and Yasinta Lisa, solar energy can help the drying process carried out by humans. This includes drying clothes, salting fish, harvesting salt, and so on.
4. Forming clouds and rain
Solar energy also helps the process of evaporation on the water surface and crystallization, thereby helping to form clouds. Clouds that contain a lot of water will produce rain, which has many other benefits for human life on earth.
5. Stored in the cell panel
Solar heat can be stored in a device called a cell panel. The heat stored in these cell panels can then be used to heat water and move the car.
6. Industrial needs
The benefits of solar energy for humans also include the industrial and office sectors. Moreover, if you utilize solar panel technology, industries, factories, warehouses and office buildings have the potential to increase business profits by saving electricity costs by up to 30 percent.
7. Provide explanations
If there was no solar energy in the form of light, the world would be completely dark. In this way, humans will not be able to see anything in the surrounding environment.
Well, solar energy can also be used as a source of lighting.
8. Improve sleep quality
The benefits of solar energy for humans can also be felt from a health perspective, one of which is improving sleep quality.
As is known, in the human body there is a process of producing the hormone serotonin which functions to improve sleep quality and calm a person. Conversely, if serotonin levels in the human body are low, sleep quality can be disrupted.
To overcome this, humans need to be exposed to sunlight which is useful for stimulating the production of the hormone serotonin.
9. Maintain body endurance
Apart from healthy bones, muscles and teeth, exposure to sunlight also has important benefits for maintaining and increasing the body’s immune system. If immunity is well maintained, the body can be protected from various diseases and germ infections.
This is a review of the various benefits of solar energy for humans. It can be concluded that the sun has a big role in the survival of humans and other living creatures in general, Mother.
