SOLAR PANELS Deepak Gangarampanday Deon Arthur

WHAT ARE SOLAR PANELS  a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity

HOW DOE

Effects of solar panels

PROS .Renewable .Abundant .Sustainable .Reduces Electricity Costs .Many Applications .Silent .Financial Support from Government/State .Low Maintenance .Technology is Improving

EXPENSE Total Costs=$19,500 System $9,000 Solar Panels $6,500 Balance of System $2,500 Installation $7,500 Labor $3,000 Permits, Inspection Fees $4,500 Operational Costs $3,000 But the government also helps you by funds btw thousand dollars

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

TECHNOLOGY

CONS  1.Expensive  2.Intermittent  3.Energy Storage is Expensive  4.Associated with Pollution  5.Exotic Materials  6.Requires Space

 The sun is not always out

ENVIORMENT  While solar power certainly is less polluting than fossil fuels, some problems do exist. Some manufacturing processes are associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Nitrogen trifluroide and sulfur hexafluoride has been traced back to the production of solar panels. These are some of the most potent greenhouse gases and have many thousand times the impact on global warming compared to carbon dioxide..
