Essential Questions Solar energy is an inexhaustible energy source. We use solar panels to collect solar radiation and make it into electricity. Solar cells are used to capture the energy. The infrastructure requirements are solar panels made up of solar cells. Nanotubes could be used which can concentrate energy 100 times better than our regular solar panels.

Fun Facts In one hour, the earth receives more energy from the sun than the entire world uses in a whole day. There are two types of solar energy, passive and active. Converting solar energy will not pollute the air with greenhouse gases or carbon monoxide like fossil fuels.

Additional Facts Most Non-American countries make oil cost more so they use more alternative/solar energy. Solar panels cost $2.49/per watt. If you can buy a utility grid, you can conserve the solar energy from the day and use it at night.
