Variational method in the design of an optimum solar water heater storage tank [PDF]
, 2006 Solar energy is a renewable resource because it is non-exhaustible and is available in abundance. The average daily total solar radiation amount in Malaysia is about 4500 Wh/m2, K.S Ong (1994).

Inter-annual variability of wind and solar electricity generation and capacity values in Texas
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 As power systems shift towards increasing wind and solar electricity generation, inter-annual variability (IAV) of wind and solar resource and generation will pose increasing challenges to power system planning and operations.

Modeling Momentum-Diffusion in the Solar Wind [PDF]
, 2018 The Sun is both a resource and a danger. We must be able to predict or have forewarning of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their potential threats to astronauts, GPS, radio communications, and power grids.

Learning-by-doing and the Costs of a Backstop for Energy Transition and Sustainability [PDF]
We assess the impact of being able to substitute an unlimited but costly energy substitute (like wind, solar) for a non-renewable resource (like oil, coal) in a model of sustainable growth.
