HOW DOES SOLAR ENERGY WORK ?

Photons are created in the center of the sun by the fusion of atoms. Once they are released they travel through space to earth. Solar panels absorb the speeding photons and create an electrical current. These currents are stored in solar power cells for future use. Solar panels can save energy on rainy or cloudy days in the future.

RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE

Renewable energy is energy that comes from a renewable source such as sunlight, wind, rain and waves. The sun is the most important source of renewable energy because it’s a never ending source of energy.

CLEAN ENERGY

Solar energy is power from the sun. It is a clean alternative to fossil fuels that pollute the air, water, threaten public health and contributes to global warming. Solar energy does not release toxins into the air.

PROS

• Solar energy is a free and renewable source of power.

• Solar energy clean and environmentally friendly.

• Solar energy does not produce waste.

• Solar energy is a reliable source of energy.

• After installation solar power will save you money.

HELPING ENERGY SOURCE

Solar energy can be used in remote areas where traditional power sources are not available. In poorer nations solar power is a great way to get cheap energy for refrigeration, cooking, water heating and indoor lighting.
