Last term we wrote article about renewable energy sources.

Here is one to read.
When you feel the heat the sun on your skin you're feeling solar energy.
you can store solarenergy with solar pannels.
Solar pannels trap the sun's energy or sunlight and turn it into electricity.
This can be used around homes and can be transmitted around the countries.
Solar pannels are for hot countries like New Zealand,Spain and Australia.
The newest type of solar pannels can be used as roof tiles.
