Presentation transcript:

By: Graham, Matt and Parker

Advantages  Environmental impact is minimal  You don’t have to heat or cool water  It’s renewable energy  Sun is free  In places without electricity solar is always available

Disadvantages  It’s not sunny everywhere  You need a lot of land  It does not work at night  Very expensive  Ruins the landscape

Where it is used in the U.S.  Right now the largest solar plant is in California along with eight other in the Mojave desert that produces most of the worlds solar energy  It is also used In Arizona and in New Mexico

Definition  Energy from the sun that is turned in to thermal or electrical energy

Video  Solar Power Plant Video Solar Power Plant Video

Interesting Facts  Solar power is the most available energy source in the world.  Solar is also used in cold places to extract heat out of the sun rays to heat water and homes.
