How Does Solar Energy Work? Solar Thermal Energy from the sun Panels are positioned to maximize absorption A non-toxic anti-freeze is used Sun will then warm the liquid Solar thermal Photovoltaic

Photovoltaic Photovoltaic converts the power into electricity. Photovoltaic cells absorb light Electricity forms direct current (DC)‏ DC power is transformed A small amount of solar energy is ready for distribution.

Where Solar Energy is used Solar Energy can be used anywhere the sun shines. Solar Energy is best used in the southern states. (more sun more stored energy)‏

How Solar Energy is used Solar Energy is used as water pump. It is also used as wheel chair power storage Solar Energy is most used as street lights.

What are some benefits and drawbacks of Solar Energy?

Benefits Drawbacks Solar energy saves you money because it runs on energy from the sun, so its free. It's Eco-friendly and does not require fuel, which can contribute to global warming. Solar Energy will still supply your home in the event of a power outage. The panels are durable and low maintenance, so they will last for a long time. The investment for Solar Energy is very costly. Panels need plenty of space for installation. Clouds and pollution can effect the production of Solar Energy. Solar Energy cannot be produced at night due to the lack of sunlight. Solar Panel's efficiency depend on the positioning of the sun.

Solar Power: Cost Cost varies depending on the size of your household, amount of electricity you use, what type of solar energy system you want, and many other things Solar hot water system: $2,000 and $4,000 Photovoltaic system: $8,000 and $10,000 ($8 to $10 per watt)‏ Average cost for a three bedroom house is between $13,000 and $27,000 Average monthly bill is around $50 to $75 for most people

Equipment Solar Panels- collects sunlight Solar Hot Water System- heats water using the suns energy Photovoltaic system

Who Can Use Solar Energy? People who live in sunny areas can use solar energy. People who live in areas with a lot of smog or pollution may have more difficulty using solar energy. People with plenty of installation room for the panels can use solar energy also.
