Solar renewable energy is something that everyone always asks and want for at their homes because there are lots of benefits to having solar energy at their homes. Solar renewable energy is good for bringing electricity in people’s houses with a source that comes from the sun. We need air conditioners to stay cool in those hot times. It also helps reduce families spending a lot of bills to pay for electric power and is good for the environment because it does not burn fossil fuels, decreasing carbon dioxide emissions. Solar energy is also reusable for everyone because once consumers purchase it, they don’t have to repurchase it. As for us, physics major students of the Physics Department in St. John’s University, we can design smaller solar energy panels that can be very much equivalent to the bigger solar energy in order for us (people) to place solar panels in different angles of the roofs of their homes where the sun hits. They are big in size and very costly to purchase, so making them in different sizes can help it be more accessible to people, especially cost wise. It will also be beneficial to have solar energy at times when the weather is super frigid, and they need to turn on the heaters in order to stay warm inside their homes and for all seasons. This way, paying electric bills can be reduced and making everyone’s life easier and simpler with having solar renewable energy in our daily lives.
