We are looking for efficient, clean and cheap energy sources. These types of energy will not pollute or waste natural resources. Solar energy is one of these energy sources. Solar energy will be provided free of charge from the sun. One percent of the solar energy reaching the earth would be enough to power the entire world’s population. Many countries around the world will use solar energy. People will put solar panels on roofs and other buildings and they will use solar energy to heat the water. Energy will be stored for a long time. We hope that by using solar energy, the problem of lack of energy will be solved.
