Solar Energy

• Daniel, Drew, and Beau

2
What is solar energy?

• Solar energy is radiant energy given by the sun.
• Two hydrogen atoms form into helium through
  fusion and make energy

3
How does this energy work?

• The energy given off from the fusion gets sent
  away from the sun, some hitting the Earth we
  collect this energy through solar panels.

4
 What is this energy best suited to do?

• The energy is formed into electricity through the
  panels so it is best suited to power household
  appliances such as lights. Some also use the
  energy for heat.

5
  How realistic is this energy currently?

• In 2008, about 0.1 of the total energy supply in
  the US came from solar sources. 

6
How likely is it that we will be using this
energy in the near future?

• It is 100 likely that we will be using solar
  power as an energy source. It is predicted that
  in 2025, 50 of our energy will be solar.

7
   What are the advantages of this form of
energy? 

• Pro It is considered clean energy, there is a
  constant stream of it and its not dangerous.

8
What are the disadvantages of this form of
energy?

• Con- Cost of panels are high, weather can affect
  the efficiency and only works during the daytime.
