What is solar power?

Solar power is when heat radiation

energy is reflected from the sun, onto the

Earth’s atmosphere therefore converting

this into thermal or electrical energy.

Where is this happening?Top 5 Solar Plants In Various Regions of The World.1. La Rioja &

Puertollano of Spain

2. Leipzig Germany3. Alentejo Portugal 4. Belen New Mexico5. Carrizo Plain,

Northwest of California

Where it is happening?

How Does it Affect Life on Earth?How Does it Affect life on Earth?● The use of land required to build the solar farm● Hazardous materials released into the atmosphere● Rural areas can benefit from solar power● Reuseable source of energy

4) Is there some problem or issue with your topic?

● BIRDS FLY INTO Solar panels and Pass away by the HUNDREDS.

5. What are some solutions?

■ Satellites

■ More absorbent of heat

■ Self cleaning system

Summary● Employment opportunities will

rise● Solar power can help power the

world● The greenhouse gases are being

released into the atmosphere● The effect it has on land use,

the price and the effect it has on the ecosystem

● Solar is an up and coming Industry
