2. Renewable energy source
The renewable energy source that I am going
to be discussing is solar energy
3. 5 Questions:
• Who created solar panels?
• a french guy named Antoine Cesar Becquerel invented the solar panel.
• Where is the best place to put a solar panel on a house?
• On the roof facing the sun
• Where can you buy a solar panel from?
• There is a place in Auckland called Solar power Auckland, they sell solar panels.
• What is the name of the boat that is travelling around the world by solar power?
• MS Turanor Planet Solar
• How does a solar panel make energy?
• They have their energy made by the sun then they store the energy which goes towards making electricity.
5. Benefits:
• It is sustainable and renewable, this means that we will
never run out of it.
• Solar panels are very little work aswell. Once they have
installed there is very little that you have to do to keep
them working properly.
• They are a silent source of energy, as they don’t make
any noise while processing.

7. Pros and Cons:
5 Pros: 5 Cons:
-It is an unreliable
-Renewable energy source
-Sustainable -expensive
-quiet -weather can effect
-Doesn’t give any efficiency
emissions -pollution can effect
-gives off no pollution efficiency
-manufacturing and
transportation of solar
panels causes pollution
9. Negative impacts and cons:
-It is non-renewable
-it may be cheaper but it cause a lot
more pollution
-the gases that are put into the air by
non-renewable energy sources can effect
other people and their health
-If you wanted to use coal, then it can be quite
dangerous to mine it
-it can sometimes be expensive to get it
