    TYPES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

    EXAMPLES?

    • Can you come up with any common examples?


    EXAMPLES?
    • Solar Energy

    • Wind Energy

    • Geothermal Energy

    • Biofuels

    • Hydropower

    • and many more


    THE COST

    • The cost of solar panels has


    fallen approximately 100
    times since 1977

    • Solar panels today are half


    as cheap as they were in
    2008
    ENERGY OUTPUT
    • Power = V x A

    • Example: A 50 watt solar


    panel works at 13.0 Volts
    will produce 39.0 watts of
    power

    • 13.0 V x 3.0 A = 39.0 W


    BENEFITS
    • Money Saving

    • Energy Security

    • Creates Jobs

    • 100% renewable

    • No contribution to Global
    Warming
    SOLAR PANELS

    • Made up of photovoltaic
    cells

    • Converts sunlight into


    direct current (DC)
    electricity

    • Can transform into


    alternating current (AC)
    electricity
