Harnessing Solar Power: Benefits and Environmental Impact

Solar energy harnesses the sun's vast energy, reducing dependence on oil and minimizing pollution. Solar panels absorb and store sunlight, converting it into usable electricity through the photoelectric effect. This clean energy option can significantly lower utility bills and provide tax incentives, while also powering rural areas and vehicles, reducing foreign oil reliance. Transitioning to solar energy fosters environmental health, decreases oil-related costs, and boosts the economy by lessening spending on oil infrastructure. A shift to solar power represents a sustainable future for all.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Technology Project By Jennifer Roman COSC 1401

  2. Solar Power • The sun emits more energy than humans can consume or produce • Energy from the sun is absorbed and stored for use in solar panels • This decreases oil drilling and pollution • In result, cleaner environment & reduce global warming

  3. How Electricity Works • Light strikes compounds • Emits or accepts them • Transfers them to a conductor • This is known as the Photoelectric Effect

  4. Capturing Light • Silicone photovoltaic tiles absorb sunlight, store it and convert it into useable energy

  5. Benefits of Solar Energy • Powering your home/business with solar technology will decrease your utility bills and offer recognition/ incentives when filing taxes • Also provides power to rural areas • Is capable of fueling vehicles which decreases the addiction to foreign oil

  6. Conclusion • Converting to solar energy is environmental friendly • Will improve environmental health • Decrease the cost on oil • Improve the economy because less would be spent on maintaining oil facilities
