SOLER POWAAAA

Researching Solar Energy is a very important issue that has reached the world. Some countries, earlier than others have been using this solar energy for years before America, but finally we have joined in and are working to get more solar energy out to the public. Starting with farmers and their need for solar energy to help with energy costs and share with small towns surrounding them for a price, and to big businesses and factories where solar energy would stop coal powered and nuclear powered plants in return for a healthier ans safer alternative that helps the environment and saves on their energy cost bills. I found that our school is also involved in creating solar energy and making a solar car! There link explains why they're making it, how it was made and about what this solar car has done since its creation.

I have also been wondering HOW solar energy works and how things such as solar panels are made. When I studied abroad in Denmark, I often took the train past farms and factories that used solar energy but also wind energy that would be very beneficial for some area of America such as Illinois and solar energy is very beneficial for areas such as Arizona or Nevada. I found a youtube video that shows how solar panels are made and I thought you might also be interested in how things work underneath this amazing discovery and invention!
