Ways Solar Power Is Used

There are many ways that solar power is used today; solar power has helped make the world a better place to live. One of the ways that solar power is used is on houses. It can be used on houses to heat the air inside the house. Also it can be used to heat water inside the house if needed. The suns rays are captured by the solar panel and then they are converted into energy that can be used to heat a house or water. To sum it all up, some people choose solar panels for their house because it is better in the long run.

Have you ever noticed the little grayish-black squares on a calculator? Well those are tiny solar cells. Most US calculators these days use solar cells because they are more efficient. They are more efficient because they don’t need batteries so they last lon

Answer 1

-outdoor garden lights to avoid electrical cable

-outdoor lights to light trails or walkways were no electrical power is

-temporary highway construction signs

-solar mats to recharge batteries on motor boats(electric start needs 12 volt battery)or even car batteries

Ways Solar Power Is Used

There are many ways that solar power is used today; solar power is helping to make the world a better place to live. The main type of solar panels you would find is electric; they produce power that gets stored into a battery for later use. A major use for solar panels is used is on houses. It can be used on houses to heat the air inside the house, heat water for showers or any type of hot water use, or electric. Electric panels are getting more popular and cheaper every day. It works like this: the suns rays are captured by the solar panel and then they are converted into energy which can be used numerous ways. To sum it all up, some people choose solar panels for their house because it is better in the long run.

Have you ever noticed the little grayish-black squares on a calculator? Well those are tiny solar cells. Most calculators these days use solar cells because they are more efficient. They are more efficient because they don’t need batteries (but sometimes have them as well) so they can last a long time; all you need is the sun.

But solar panels are used everywhere, sometimes you just don’t notice them. They can be used on billboards to light them up at night time by charging a battery; people have even invented cars with the roof being a solar panel!

Answer 3

Some people buy outdoor lights that are solar powered.

In Ohio, where I live, some of the electric construction signs (that say left lane closed ahead, etc.) are powered by solar power.

Some people by special pool covers that use solar heat to heat swimming pool water.

Some lighthouses and offshore navigation buoys use solar power.  See http://www.solarbuzz.com/Applications.ht...
