Solar Energy Kayla Burton and Emily Margewich

Primary Energy Source  The Sun.!

History  August Mouchout- first man to use solar energy Changed it into steam engine.  Charles Fritz- Turned suns rays into electricity.

Geographic Distribution  Distribution depends on… latitude Season Time of day  Most favorable belt… 15°N and 35°N Greatest amount radiation Small rainfall Less cloud coverage

Continued  Moderately favorable belt Equator and 15°N Humidity is high Cloud coverage is frequent  Less favorable belt latitude 35°N and 45°N Seasonal variation  Intensity and daylight hours

Pollutants  No pollution

How the system works

Requirements for the system to work  Sun rays and solar cells

Pros  No pollution  Quiet  Harness electricity

Cons  Expensive  Only good throughout the day  Elements can effect efficiency

Impact on the environment  Manufacturing of photovoltaic cells Harmful for workers to breathe in  Large amount of land use for plant Destroying environment for animals  Disposal of the panels

Solar energy’s abundance  A lot of it Sun

Costs  About $4.50 per Watt.  $150 for generators.  $15 per sq. ft. of heating/cooling space.

Extra Points  Arizona, Colorado, Georgia 3 highest solar energy potential in the US.  Solar energy is the longest used energy source.

Works Cited  facts/  
