Solar+(panel)

While solar energy is generated from the sun everyday, solar panels help harvest this energy/radiation and convert it into useful electrical energy and store them in batteries for further uses. The panels are comprised of solar cells that when they're exposed to sunlight, they pulls the free electrons that were released when sunlight strikes the solar panels and generate it into usalbe electricity (photovoltaic effect). The more solar cells and the high the quality of those cells, the more electrical output the solar panel can produce.

-Renewable resource, will never run out || -Expensive to produce and purchase -Not accessable to all classes or places (such as developing countries) that do not have the finances || The main disadvantage of solar energy is the initial cost. Most types of solar cell require large areas of land to achieve average efficiency. Air pollution and weather can also have a large effect on the efficiency of the cells.
 * **Advantages** || **Challenges/Disadvantage** ||
 * Energy saving (renewable) || Expansive to build, buy ||
 * Good for the environment (less pollution) || Dependent on the weather (need sunlight) ||
 * Less electricity bills || The solar cells/ surface needs to be protected ||
 * Safe || Requires space to locate the panels ||
 * -Free energy (from the sun)
