Technology is always advancing in our society. Each day we discover something new, or work on discovering something new.

Solar panels are made up of small photovoltaic (capable of producing voltage from sunlight) cells that accumulate energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. Using solar panels as an alternate source of energy production is not only environmentally friendly, but can save you thousands in dollars. Every day when the sun is shining, it kicks out over four hundred horsepower of energy per acre. If we had solar panels absorbing that energy, think of how much green energy we would be using! In less than three days, the solar energy being used would outmatch any other type of energy source. Solar technology is also one of the most renewable energy sources found on this planet. It also produces no pollution whatsoever, making it a smart way to conjure up some energy. Another cool thing about solar energy is that if you have panels installed to your house, thus creating your own energy, you may get money back from the power company depending on what state you live in. Talk about a green investment!

Wind energy, like solar energy, receives energy from a natural source; in this case moving air molecules. The most efficient place for wind turbines to be placed is, as shown above, off the coast. The wind is stronger and greater in quantity in this area, providing the large turbines with more wind to convert into energy.
