Renewable Energy Exploration Worksheet
Mini-investigation: A windy, sunny day
A small community is comparing two ways to generate electricity. Solar panels transfer energy from sunlight into usable power. Wind turbines transfer energy from moving air: the wind turns the blades, which drive a generator. Neither source burns fuel while generating power. Coal is burned as a fuel to generate electricity. Solar panels make less electricity at night, and wind turbines need enough wind.
