    We all see the sun light every day‚ once you step outside on a hot day you fell its power and how destructive and life giving it is. Solar energy is the energy of the future‚ the main problem we have is making sure it is efficient and cheap. It seems that it would be simple to capture the sun’s rays and make electricity‚ but the material that “captures” the rays is very expensive due to it having to be a really pure material; if we use materials that are not as “pure” the electric current can’t go

    Solar Energy In 1839 Alexander Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect which explains how electricity can be generated from sunlight. He claimed that an electrode submerged in a conductive solution would create an electric current. ‘However even after much research and development subsequent to the discovery‚ photovoltaic power continued to be very inefficient a solar cell were used mainly for the purposes of measuring light. Solar energy is radiant light and
