Overview
The ancient Greeks and Romans were the first to realize how to harness the sun for light and warmth. Today, it’s common to consider window placement for optimum use of the sun when building new structures, and it’s no longer unusual for buildings to use solar cells for electricity! Readers will be introduced to this exciting technology through brightly colored photographs and understandable explanations of how different kinds of solar power work. Sidebars focus on this technology up close while succinct fact boxes offer more ecological perspectives. Readers will not only learn why solar power is a technology to be invested in but also the limitations that still exist. The science and social studies content will illuminate a fascinating area of research for readers beginning to weigh pros and cons to form an opinion.
