Renewable Energy — Sun, Wind, and Water

Solar energy comes from SUNLIGHT! Solar panels are flat panels covered in special materials that turn sunlight directly into electricity. You have probably seen them on rooftops. The sun sends enough energy to Earth in ONE HOUR to power the whole world for an entire year! Solar power is clean — no smoke, no pollution. And the sun will keep shining for billions more years. Solar energy is renewable because the sun never runs out!
