  1. Solar Energy Brooke Bentley, Krissey Browder, Tristan Johnson, and Sierra Massucco

  2. Energy 1% of the Nation’s 7% Renewable Energy is Solar Energy

  3. Uses • Solar Powered Cars • Solar Panels • Heating/Cooling Space • Heating Water • Electricity Uses in the Home

  4. Renewable • Sun renews itself daily • Access to solar energy daily

  5. Cost for Set Up/Use • Buy/make solar panels • Cost $3.45 per watt to install • Take up space

  6. Positive/Negative Aspects Positive Negative • Better for environment • No pollution • Less costly • Abundant Resource • Free • Waste emitted with damaged panel • Takes up land • Amount of sunlight • Cost

  7. How it’s Gathered/Created • Solar panels • Sun

  8. How it Works

  9. Solar panel collects energy and sends to power center Power center controls charging of the battery bank and provides power to home Battery bank stores solar energy home outlets, reducing electric bill From 12 to 20 home circuits can be solar powered Storage Battery Banks

  10. Storage Grid-Tied

  11. Waste By-Products • No Waste is Emitted

  12. Effects on the Environment • Takes up lots of space • Less harmful than burning fossil fuels

  13. Accessibility • Accessible through the sun daily • Cost for solar equipment is rapidly decreasing • Makes accessible to more people
