1.WRITE DOWN THE DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY 2. ITS EXAMPLES: A.

SOLAR ENERGY WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY:

Solar power is energy from the sun and without its presence all life on earth would end. Solar energy has been looked upon as a serious source of energy for many years because of the vast amounts of energy that are made freely available, if harnessed by modern technology.
FORMS OF SOLAR ENERGY: 1. SOLAR PANELS: solar panels work through elemental reaction between positively charged and negatively charged compounds HOW DO THEY WORK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMqRg33QM6w SEE THIS LINK AND WRITE DOWN ABOUT ITS WORKING 2.SOLAR WATER HEATERS:

Solar water heating (SWH)systems are designed to deliver hot water for most of the year HOW DO THEY WORK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCu_WxGTDyE WATCH THIS THERE ARE 4 POINTS YOU CAN WRITE DOWN THOSE AND TRY TO MAKE THE DIAGRAM ALSO

ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY:

The major disadvantages of solar energy are: our inability to control or predict how much solar energy arrives on the earth's surface at any place and, our technology to date requires that a large surface is required for collection of useful amounts of solar energy.

USAGE: 1Solar water heating (SWH) has been widely used in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Israel, Australia,

Japan, Austria and China
