The Power of Solar I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. Thomas Edison

Solar…endless capabilities Let's watch - Solar Energy 101 Solar Switch Energy Can be used for heating – passive vs. active Also utilized to generate electricity – PV cells, thermal collectors, etc.

Passive Solar - NO PUMPS or FANS!

Active Solar – must have pumps or fans

Thermal Solar Power Plant This plant, owned by Google, NRG Energy, and BrightSource Energy, spanning 3,500 acres of land, is truly impressive – 300,000 mirrors, controlled by software, track sun rays in three dimensions and reflect them to boilers which are located on top of three 459-foot-tall towers. The sun heats the water in the boilers, the water turns into super hot steam which is then transported from the boilers to a standard turbine where electricity is generated.
