  1. Solar Energy By Alexis Martyn, Carrie Valuska, Max Moore, Jake Sell, and Alex Zubrow

  2. How Solar Energy Works How solar panels work

  3. Facts About Solar Energy • Solar energy comes from the sun • The sun is an inexhaustible resource, so it will never die out for billions of years • Less than 0.1 energy comes from the sun

  4. It is an inexhaustible resource, which means it can never be used up by humans • It could become less expensive as the supply of fossil fuels decrease • It provides high paying jobs for workers

  5. Disadvantages of Solar Energy • In winter, the solar panels can not produce as much energy as the average house uses • It is very expensive, and takes up much land • During night the panels do not create energy, leaving the energy from the last day to linger on in the morning • Solar energy is more expensive than using fossil fuels

  6. Would Solar Energy Work in Pittsburgh? It would be possible to use solar energy in Pittsburgh, but it would not be an inefficient energy source because it is not always sunny in Pittsburgh. Often times we get rainy/cold weather

  7. Other Facts About Solar Energy • This source of energy is renewable, because the sun will never die out • In the future, solar energy will probably become more popular due to fossil fuels slowly dying out • Solar energy is good for the environment, because it improves the air quality naturally
