SOLAR ENERGY

PAVING THE ROAD FOR A BETTER TOMORROW

Our world's demand for energy is increasing with every day. However, we have almost used up all of the energy that our world's fossil fuels can provide. So, what do we do? The answer is simple: we find another way to create the energy we need.

SOLAR ENERGY is one of those ways. It utilizes photovoltaic cells (solar panels) to harness the energy of the sun and create electricity. People are also attempting to create solar-powered cars (such as the one at left) to replace today's cars, which create immense amounts of harmful pollution.

Below are some links to sites that can teach you more about solar energy.
