Why GW middle school should use solar panels By: Jane Schwartz
2
Being Green Solar energy is a renewable energy source Using solar panels doesn’t contribute to pollution Solar energy doesn’t produce green house gases The production of energy from the use of fossil fuels (for example wind turbines) can be noisy and distractive, yet solar energy produces electricity very quietly so that students won’t be distracted by noises in the class room The use of solar energy to produce electricity allows the user to become less dependent on fossil fuels supplies
3
Cost Efficient The energy and heat that we get from the sun is free Solar panels are very low maintenance because solar panels include no moving parts that would need to be maintained Solar panels can be installed on roofs, which gets rid of the problem of finding space for the solar panel placement
4
Safety Using solar panels would have no risk of electrocution Lights powered by solar panels are cool to the touch If a teacher wanted to have an experiment using a light bulb, it wouldn’t be harmful to touch them
5
Creating Jobs If we buy solar panels in our area, we will create more jobs Other schools in our district such as Minnie Howard have invested in solar panels so that shows that the school board supports solar energy If for some reason a solar panel breaks, a worker will have to come and fix it for a large amount of money
