Powered By The Sun

The Sun sends huge amounts of energy to Earth.This solar energy
can be used to heat things,or to make electricity-without making
pollution.The Sun will still be shining long after the last coal
and oil have been mined.
The rows of solar panels on the roof of the house in the picture
turn the Sun's energy into electricity.This energy can be stored in
batteries.It can also travel along power lines into the electricity
system.
Solar water heaters absorb the Sun's energy to heat water.
This hot water is stored in a tank,which can be seen above the
two heating panels.
