Solar Power

The fuel shortage in the UK has caused a lot of disruption on the roads as long lines of cars queue around fuel stations.

School buses have also been affected, with many running late or cancelled at the last minute!

This clearly shows that we need to use other sources of energy to power our cars and buses.

Solar-powered cars and hydrogen buses are some examples of this.

Solar is getting increasingly popular.

In hot weather like summer, it can be an advantage.

It helps reduce climate change and instead of using carbon dioxide (co2), it uses power from the sun.

Here are some facts about it…

_{Solar power is the most abundant and cheap power source in the world.}

_{At least 2 million solar power mirrors have been used in the US.}   

_{Environmentally friendly solar power was used by people in the 7^th century BC as they used sunlight to light fires using magnifying glass materials.}

_{The first photovoltaic cell was invented in 1954 by a man named A.E Becquerel.}
