Solar Energy By: Marisa Laim Kayla Laura

What is solar energy? a) Solar power is harnessing the radiation from the sun and using it as an energy resource. b) Sunlight hits the silicon cells in the solar panels and excite electrons to form an electron current. PV, or photovoltic, refers to a unit of electrical force.

Solar Thermal Power Plants The power plants generate electricity using the heat from sun to heat water and produce steam that is used to power the generator.

Solar Power Advantages It is a renewable resource. Solar energy is a non- pollutant resource. Solar cells last a long time. Money will be saved in the long run.

Solar Power Disadvantages Equipment is very expensive at first. Space is needed to install solar panels. Only useful when the sun is shining. Need to be in a place with little obstructions.

Where is solar energy most accessible? The map of the United States shows the amount of kilowatt hours of solar energy potential per year for a kilowatt of solar installed. The map of the world shows the average daily solar radiation measured in watts per square meter per day.

Benefits It saves you money because solar panels are used to convert the suns energy in electricity. It will cut your carbon footprint. The price of Solar Panels are approximately $30-40,000 for a single family house. It would take 5 to 8 years to make your money back. The power company may pay for your extra electricity. It depends what company you have. Some companies will send you a check for every $25 mark.
