The Solar Panel Conundrum

The sun produces enough energy to warm the planet and promote life from 91.5 million miles away. However, humans’ ability to harness the sun's raw power is still in its burgeoning stages. Consequently, many problems plague the new technology. Continued discovery and innovation are making the solar panel a more viable energy source every day.

The following link is to a Prezi that I created walking through the solar panel conundrum and what is being done about it.
