  1. Solar Energy • Sun’s rays that can be converted into energy • Heat • Electricity • Can power cars • Photovoltaic Devices • Exchanges sunlight directly into electricity • Solar Thermal Heating • Sunlight reduces the amount of Electricity/gas required to heat Commercial or industrial solar water heating are most effective.

  2. Power Plants and Solar cars California has the biggest power plant in the World They are located in Harper Lake They use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto receivers that accumulate the solar energy and convert it to heat. Another benefit from solar power is being able to power vehicles. Some benefits of this are the electricity fuels the battery and runs the car’s motor. Some solar cars direct the power straight to the electric motor.
