What happens when you switch a lightswitch? Or the power button on
the TV? Electricity flows to the device and it switches on. Most of
us use electrical gadgets all day, every day, without thinking
about it. But where does electricity come from? Solar power is one
of the most exciting forms of renewable energy today. From the
powerful solar rays to the bright light bulbs being switched on all
over the world, we follow the journey from the source to the
resource. We look at other sources of energy, how the national grid
works to move electricity across land and sea, and how it is fed
into our homes. Home electricity is not the only use for solar
power, so we look at solar farms, solar furnaces, solar towers and
even solar transport. Finally we consider the future for solar
energy and the advantages and disadvantages of this amazing
resource. Other titles in the Source to Resource series include:
From Field to Plate From Oil Rig to Petrol Pump From Raindrop to
Tap
