Solar Energy The Sun is a star and without it there would be no life on earth. This is why the Sun is called the ultimate source of energy. The Sun’s energy is produced by a process called nuclear fusion. Every second‚ the Sun emits vast amounts of energy‚ much of which is light‚ and this solar radiation can be converted into electricity. Plants and trees are pretty good at collecting this energy. With the help of green chlorophyll‚ they use light energy to make food – they’re our solar powered

New ’solar paint’ could generate electricity from the roofs and walls of EVERY home without the need for bulky panels * ’Nanocrystals’ used to generate power * Can be painted or printed onto walls or windows * So tiny you could fit 250‚000‚000‚000 on head of a pin * Thin enough to be painted or printed onto walls One day‚ a thin film of ’solar panel’ could be painted over windows and walls to turn every home into a giant hi-tech ’sun trap’. The hi-tech solution could make solar

The Solar System My project is about the Solar System. The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbits the Sun. The Solar System consists of moon‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ minor planets‚ dust and gas. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is the more gravity it has. The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. After the sun is Mercury‚ the innermost planet in the

Solar System About 4‚700 million years ago‚ the Solar System was just a spinning disc of dust and gas. The dust began to collect together and our Sun formed at the centre. Around Sun‚ lumps of rock joined up to form smaller bodies and‚ like the Sun‚ they heated up. But because they were smaller they soon cooled down and became planets. Sun accounts for 99.85 per cent of mass of the solar system. About 1.3 billion earths would fit inside the sun. The solar system consists of the Sun; the nine planets

Characteristics A solar panel is a collection of many small solar cells spread over a large area. These solar cells work together to provide sufficient energy to power a given item. (Northwestern University) Their creation is a very delicate process which is why many of their advancements did not come until last quarter of the 20th century. In this period‚ advancements in semiconductors and photovoltaic products allowed efficient and cost effective solar panels to be produced. (Solar Panel Info)
