Why Solar? It’s Free!!
• On a bright, sunny day, the sun shines approximately 1,000 watts of energy per square meter of the planet's surface, and if we could collect all of that energy we could easily power our homes and offices for free.

How Does Solar Work?
• Energy in the form of photons causes charges to be excited in a semiconductor – electrical current flows
