Abstract

Several countries want to fully use renewable energy because it is a clean and limitless source compared to fossil fuels, which are a limited but efficient energy source. However, could renewable energy be a good replacement for fossil fuels? This research discusses the different technologies used in renewable energy, specifically solar energy and wind energy. The paper will use a qualitative method to research and collect information on the technologies from previous studies. Each technology’s historical background, technical mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages, and latest developments will be presented. The research concludes that previous studies on renewable technologies are insufficient in the long run because of the increased demand. The study also advises finding alternative solutions or using diverse technologies to reduce the setbacks but with the same energy output.
