Renewable Energy Source - Solar Power by Sherin Muliana Br. Tarigan https://padlet.com/sherintarigan/3nisx6rwpjql39up en-us 2022-11-01 03:34:17 UTC 2025-11-03 05:54:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Solar Energy sherintarigan https://padlet.com/sherintarigan/3nisx6rwpjql39up/wish/2364330410 It is a renewable energy source generated by the sun that provides radiant light and heat.

It is a renewable clean power and clean energy production from the sun.

Solar energy will not run out, the solar energy is accessible for us everyday as long as there is the sun.

Energy independence - you have control over your energy source.

Environmental friendly

Solar power commonly use photovoltaic (PV) panels or use mirrors that concentrate the solar radiation. This renewable source of energy can be used to generate electricity,  stored in batteries or other thermal storage.

By 2019, solar power capacity reached 623 gigawatts globally.]]> 2022-11-01 03:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sherintarigan/3nisx6rwpjql39up/wish/2364338067 Weakness of Solar Power sherintarigan https://padlet.com/sherintarigan/3nisx6rwpjql39up/wish/2364338297 High initial cost
 
Solar power stop generating electricity when the sun is down

Require a wide area of space for the solar power

May be sensitive upon your location, (doesn't work efficiently in different location) - If it is build in a place where it is particularly shaded, it will be  difficult for the solar cells to collect energy.

Amount of energy vary depending on the sun's intensity - if the sun does not shine, the solar panels won't be able to generate power.

China, by far in 2019, world’s largest installed solar energy fleet. It was mentioned that their solar power provide 205 gigawatts (GW).

United States has become the world’s second-largest installed solar capacity in 2019. It has a total of  76 gigawatts (GW) and produced a total of 93.1 terawatt hour (TWh) of electricity. 

Followed by Japan, Germany, and India.
