Fact 10: Solar energy represents the oldest form of energy. And there is a big chance it could turn out to be the most important answer to our energy problem. Solar energy has existed for as long as the sun was born. Based on Wikipedia, our solar system was formed 4.6 billion years ago. It came from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. This primal cloud was several light-years across and probably... 

Fact 9: About half of worldwide production of solar panels is consumed by Japan. This is an interesting fact since Japan only takes up .3 percent of the world total landmass. The major reason behind it was simply matter of economic. In the last decade, electric price in Japan have been rising rapidly. Such increase in price was caused by many factors related to nuclear power plants. For instance, according to vamasa.org,... 

Fact 8: Solar energy is responsible for winds, ocean currents and other weather patterns. I know some of you just won’t take the simple answer above. For your sake and the sake of science, I like to dig deeper to find out how the whole process work. Winds: As the sun energy heats Earth’s surface, the surface heats the air above. The result of increase in energy will cause the air in the surrounding to move apart lowering... 

Fact 7: Solar energy can be collected and stored in batteries, absorbed and transmitted. Solar energy is the most abundant source of energy available to mankind. We will never run out of solar energy unless the sun dies. According to Wikipedia, there will another 7.8 billion years before the sun reach the next phase of evolution. This is the stage in which helium fusion will begin producing carbon and oxygen. By then,...
