February 2014 (Intro) Solar Energy is an underrated renewable energy source. We should be looking to make advances to become more dependent on renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The more we rely on these new energy sources the more carbon dioxide‚ sulfur dioxide‚ and other greenhouse gases we could eliminate from the air which will help ensure a clean and safe environment for future generations. In addition‚ it could aid America to depend less on other countries for energy sources such as

INTRODUCTION When thinking of starting a contracting business for solar panels‚ many economic issues and concerns play a factor in the decision making process. Having a concern for the environment and knowing that solar panels have a cost saving for both households and business seems to be reason enough to start a business. However‚ before making such a financial investment you should first take a look solar panels in the economy in terms of (i) GDP growth rate‚ (ii) interest rates‚ (iii) level

A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

To begin‚ I could have listed facts and certainties regarding the solar eclipse in order to persuade and negotiate my audience‚ as opposed to using pathos as my primary rhetorical application. Specifically‚ I could have cited the rarity and infrequency of a solar eclipse by providing dates‚ such as‚ when the last solar eclipse took place and when the next solar eclipse is expected. Next‚ I might have applied a combination of ethos and logos as a method of persuasion by citing a reputable and credible
