Understanding Solar Power

by Fiona Reynoldson

The Sun is an incredibly powerful resource that produces 400 trillion watts of energy every second. We can harness some of this energy using solar panels, which convert it to usable electricity. Readers will learn how solar energy works, the tools it takes to harness its power, and important topical information on this important energy source. Graphic organizers are included.
