<span style="line-height: 23.8px;">What is Solar Energy?</span></h3>

<span style="line-height: 17.85pt;"><b>Solar energy</b> is, simply,
energy provided by the sun. This energy is in the form of solar radiation,
which makes the production of solar electricity possible.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.85pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Electricity can be produced
directly from photovoltaic, PV, cells. (Photovoltaic literally means “light”
and “electric.”) These cells are made from materials which exhibit the
“photovoltaic effect” i.e. when sunshine hits the PV cell, the photons of light
excite the electrons in the cell and cause them to flow, generating
electricity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 17.85pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Solar energy produces
electricity when it is in demand – during the day particularly hot days when
air-conditioners drive up electricity demand. In use, solar energy
produces no emissions. One megawatt hour of solar electricity offsets about
0.75 to 1 tonne of CO2.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 17.85pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<ul>
<li><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;">Solar energy is not only sustainable, it is renewable
and this means that we will never run out of it. It is about as natural a source
of power as it is possible to generate electricity.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;">The creation of solar energy requires little
maintenance. Once the solar panels have been installed and are working at
maximum efficiency there is only a small amount of maintenance required each year
to ensure they are in working order.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;">They are a silent producer of energy. There is
absolutely no noise made from photovoltaic panels as they convert sunlight into
usable electricity.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;">There are continual advancements in solar panel
technology which are increasing the efficiency and lowering the cost of
production, thus making it even more cost effective.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 17.85pt;">During operation solar electricity power plants
produce zero emissions.</span></li>
</ul>
