Solar Power, The New Power Source?


Solar power comes from the sun's razes. The sun light could be used either as a heat or energy source. In the 1830s, a explorer John Herschel used something called solar collector to cook his food when he was in Africa. Solar power is more efficient than the our current power source. The process for making electricity is called photovoltaic, it is used in solar panels. Solar panels could possibly save the world one day. Think about it what if all the power in the world goes out. Solar power could be the only power source for us. I've been thinking about if whether I could make a space station that have solar panels. N.A.S.A is currently designing a space station with panels. I'm also designing one that works differently than other stations would. The one I'm designing has the power to send sunlight down to earth.
