1 Solar Energy Matt Radom

2 Solar Energy is created when sunlight hits a solar panel and is converted into electricity When sunlight hits solar cells, energy is absorbed, which knocks electrons loose and forms a current The only cost of this source of energy is the installation of the solar cells No pollution

3 Solar Roof Tiles These are solar panels designed to look like standard roof shingles Easy to install Durable (Can be stepped on, dropped, stacked, etc.) One estimate shows that the average cost of installation is about $11,000 There is no electrical bill, and there are tax incentives, so you get a return on your investment. Increases property value

4 Commercial Use In 2005, FedEx installed a solar power plant on the roof at their Oakland hub Several other companies, such as Johnson and Johnson, and Whole Foods use onsite solar energy.
