    That is why you put sun on the west and sone on the east

  2. the solar power australia is a website that advertises a company that sells and fits solar panels. It also tells info about them, and solar powered cars, boats and other vechiles. It adverises that solar panels are a great way to save energy, in many objects.

  3. solar power Australia is an operated company providing renewable energy solutions for industruty and buissess

  4. What is useful Solar power Australia?
    It tells us more useful information about solar panels and how it is useful and also how we can save our bills when using solar panels.

  5. Some useful information on solar power australia is:

    Solar power Australia is an australian owned and operated company providing renewable energy.

    It can tell you how much a panel is and how to place them on your house

  6. solar powered australia is an australian owned and operated company providing renewable energy sources for industry and buisneses.

  7. Marcus: Solar Power Australia also operates Solar Online Australia which is itself one of the largest suppliers and integrators of renewable energy products in Australia.
    Jared: relocatable solar lighting and skid mounted solar power systems
    Rory:what they said:)

  8. Some of the places of Australia don’t get any solar panels because they are poor and they need to spend more money on surviving and buying food

  9. Solar pannels work by generating electicity which is created by harnessing the energy from the sunlight. Although expensive, Solar Pannels generate electricity for free and do not harm our nutural ecosystem to creat electricity like fossil fuels do.

  10. Here’s where science enters the picture. Two plates of pure silicon would not generate electricity in solar panels, because they have no positive or negative charge. Solar panels are created by combining silicon with other elements that do have positive or negative charges.

    Phosphorus, for example, has five electrons to offer to other atoms. If silicon and phosphorus are combined chemically, the result is a stable eight electrons with an additional free electron along for the ride. It can\’t leave, because it is bonded to the other phosphorus atoms, but it isn\’t needed by the silicon. Therefore, this new silicon/phosphorus plate is considered to be negatively charged.

    In order for electricity to flow, a positive charge must also be created. This is achieved in solar panels by combining silicon with an element such as boron, which only has three electrons to offer. A silicon/boron plate still has one spot left for another electron. This means the plate has a positive charge. The two plates are sandwiched together in solar panels, with conductive wires running between them.

    With the two plates in place, it’s now time to bring in the ‘solar’ aspect of solar panels. Natural sunlight sends out many different particles of energy, but the one we’re most interested in is called a photon. A photon essentially acts like a moving hammer. When the negative plates of solar cells are pointed at a proper angle to the sun, photons bombard the silicon/phosphorus atoms.
