In order to help the earth we should use solar energy more than the others because solar energy is just the sun instead of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels pollute the air, water, and the public. Solar energy is a clean alternative to the other energies.
Some Items that Convert Sunlight to Electricity
This is a solar cell.
A solar cell is an electrical device that converts electricity into energy using photovoltaic effect.
This is a large solar panel.
Solar panels are objects that can take the sun's rays and turn them into an electrical charge that can power homes.
This is a solar furnace.
A solar furnace is a structure that converts concentrated solar energy into high temperatures, usually used for industry. It can also generate electricity, melt steel, make hydrogen fuels or nanomaterials.
