1.
SOLAR ENERGY
The Worlds cleanest form of energy.

2.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Solar Energy (basically light from the sun) has photons.
Solar panels convert photons/electrons into direct current (DC).
These electrons then flow out of the solar panels and into an inverter and other safety devices .
The inverter converts DC power (the kind used in batteries) into AC power. (Alternating current)
Alternating current is the used in computers.

3.
POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
It releases no carbon dioxide into the air.
It is usually silent.
If the entire US energy grid was converted 40% of our carbon dioxide would be elimanated.
Low/no maintenance need,cutting down the resources used.
Cleanest type of energy source.

4.
NEGATIVE EFFECTS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Solar Panels needs sunlight to work.
Solar panels are usually built big for that reason.
That can take up a lot of land and space.
When making them green house gases and other pollutants are released.
May use rare or uncommon metals.

5.
CURRENT USES
Lighthouses & Aircraft warning systems.
Can be used as a portable water pump.
Creating electricity.
Use in isolated or distant places
Cutting down on pollution.
6.
HOPEFUL USES
Cutting down heat and cold costs
Cutting down electricity costs
Making your house cooler/hotter.
Cleaner environment
I would like to point out it is still growing.

7.
ACCEPTED, WHY
In general public opinion solar energy is widely viewed as positive.
That is mainly because of how clean it is.
Also because it is reducing pollution.
One more reason is that it can be used every where.

8.
POSITIVE EFFECTS
Solar energy is sustainable.
It has cheap running costs.
Reduces harmful fossil fuels.
Very clean running.
When built power is free.

9.
NEGATIVE EFFECTS
Making of solar panels uses 40% of freshwater withdrawals.
Uses water to cool it down.
Can be hazardous if not disposed properly.
Uses rare metals.
Releases pollutants when made.
