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)

Solar Energy Solar energy in one form or another is the source of nearly all energy on the earth. Humans‚ like all other animals and plants‚ rely on the sun for warmth and food. However‚ people also harness the sun’s energy in many other different ways. For example‚ fossil fuels‚ plant matter from a past geological age‚ is used for transportation and electricity generation and is essentially just stored solar energy from millions of years ago. Similarly‚ biomass converts the sun’s energy into a
