ProjectDuring the industrial revolution, factories came about in a very intense manor. When stores wanted things to sell faster, they also wanted the things cheaper because they were purchasing so much inventory. By making things cheaper from the factories, the stores could now sell their products for a lower cost that was affordable for more people, making them high in demand. Due to that, the factory owners needed to fill the orders from the stores and had to make the products faster. Meaning that they needed more coal to power their machines, which lead to more pollution out into the atmosphere.
Our invention starts off by using solar panels to produce electrical currents that get stored in batteries. After, the batteries get charged and are used as energy to power the sensors. It is considered alternative energy because it is a renewable source that is “free”. By using solar energy we are saving 30 amp or 12 volt that could be represented by a pump on a boat that could be used for days. If we use more of the solar energy instead of fossil fueled energy, we would be taking people out of the harsh environment of the coal mines and giving them jobs in the solar industry. Not only that it will employ them, it also employs thousands of more humans. A pro of solar energy are that it is a clean energy source, so they have no negative impact on the environment. Another is that it is renewable and sustainable; we cannot run out of this energy source. The last of many pros, is that it is low maintenance. A con is that the initial cost to install the solar panels are a bit pricey and families need a couple to power their homes. Another con is that it only produces power during the day or whenever the Sun is out. Lasty, it takes up a lot of land if you want to be a company or city with only solar energy use. By converting to solar energy, energy will no longer be of short supply and costs of electricity bills or energy costs will no longer be a major consideration in people’s daily lives. We believe that this energy source should be used more because it is a sustainable source; not only does it create renewable energy, but it is harmless to the environment and exterminates the terrible thing that is pollution. |
