Our way of life today depends heavily on fossil fuel energy like electricity, coal and petrol. Fossil fuels are non-renewable and will one day run out. So it's a smart move to look at other types of fuels to produce energy. In a country like ours that has so much sunshine it makes sense to start looking at using so much solar power that's simply free power from the sun's rays. The most common way of collecting solar energy is by using a solar panel like this one which convert energy from sunlight into usable electricity. The best thing about solar energy is that it produces electricity without waste, noise or pollution. And of course, as long as the sun keeps shining it's completely free.
