3. Topic Description:
What is Solar energy ?
Solar energy is the power converted into electricity.
Why this topic is important ?
It is one of the main point of interest in engineering.
this power is not harmful to the environment.
Other type of energy “Fossil Fuel” is going to finish someday.
It is the future.
4. Issues of Solar Energy
the panels that are used in converting the sunlight into power are not
efficient compared to other types of power.
Sometime, it is expensive to manufacture solar panels because of the
material that are used.
5. Possible solution:
Discovering methods and finding new materials that are cheap and
beneficial can help improving the solar energy market and
producing.

soon-get-cheaper/
According to Bullis (2013) that the use of the vapor exposed from
manufacturing the highly efficient panels to use it with the cheap
panels can raise the efficiency of the panels up to 25%

The second source claims that the use of chemical molecules In the
process of storing solar for later use might be real.
This can happing as the chemical elements have the highest energy
density among anything available.
Solar thermal batteries might also has the ability to store energy since
it stores heat in the chemical bonds instead of the normal batteries
that work to move atoms.

A group of scientists in Korea has compose a metal organic
hybrid from lead that has the ability to absorb light up 10%
more.
This material, is cheap, and it can be used to improve the
normal Panel efficiency.

- This is also my Favorite page because It is something that I’m excited to learn
about.
- It is my first time to learn and search for something that is related to what I’m
possibly going to be working in.
- As this is important, I want to everyone to know that Solar Power is going to be
the future of power.
