Solar power from panels is very efficient. These panels work by turning photons into electrical energy. Then the electricity is then directed to where it is needed. We use solar power when we put our clothes out to dry. Solartron inc.'s opinion is that would be beneficial for Upper Merion Township to use our solar energy and solar panels because it would make Upper Merion Area a "greener" place. Solar energy is renewable and has zero emissions. In the past, solar energy was used for heating water and food. Many parts of the world are currently using solar technology for most or all of their energy. Before all of the fossil fuels run out we will need a source of dependable, renewable energy. We will supply you with energy from our power plant, as well as install solar panels were permitted. It is easier to collect and store solar energy than some other resources. Keeping this in mind, solar energy can be generated into electrical energy fairly easy.



__ADVANTAGES:__

 * 1) Solar energy is easily converted into electrical energy instantly, unlike other resources that can take a long time to convert into electrical energy.
 * 2) Solar panels are easy to use. Once we install, all that you need to do is to do some maintenance.
 * 3) It's dependable! 80 percent of the sun's rays still get through clouds, and the sun shines every day
 * 4) There is a HUGE amount of solar energy that is shone on the earth every minute! Unlike other resources

=__Disadvantages__: = > > 
 * 1) The panels can be pretty expensive. So, we can give Upper Merion the new Solartron 50% off panels discount.
 * 2) Solar energy could hurt the environment if not handled properly, but Solartron has hire trained professionals to deal with maintenance.
 * 3) The sun does not shine at night, so therefore, Solartron has created batteries that can store the energy of the sun.
 * 4) It is possible for the panels to break. If this happens, don't worry! Call us at 1-800-Go-Solar and we will gladly repair it for free.

**__Reasons to Choose Solar Over Other Resources__ **

 * Hydroelectricity disrupts fish migration and they end up dying. Solar energy does not kill any animals.
 * Wind energy is impractical for Upper Merion Area. There is more solar energy than wind energy here.
 * Biomass, even though it is renewable, gives off emissions and kills trees and animals
 * Geothermal is difficult to get in Pennsylvania and there are no nearby earth openings

**<span style="color: rgb(0,101,255);">__MANY PAST USES:__ **
The sun has been producing energy for millions of years, and up until about several thousand years ago, the sun's energy only provided humans with warmth and life. But during the last couple thousand years, humans have used solar energy for many things, even without the solar panel form. Back when there were no stoves, ovens, or microwaves, people would use the sun to most importantly heat up water for food. They would also use it to heat their food, and heat homes, the sun would heat the whole world, many people got warmth and survival during winters and didn't really realize how much power and energy the sun is capable of producing.

<span style="display: block; color: rgb(119,148,177); text-align: center;">HOW IS THE FUTURE IF SOLAR IS ENDORSED?
Although solar energy is beyond renewable in supply, we shouldn't waste it. While we are currently investing in other alternative energy resourses, we are not using any thing that harms the enviorment. If we start using solar now, we will be highly advanced in this technology. Our company is currently working on a special battery that will store solar energy for nighttime. Solar energy is one of the few reliable energy rescorces for long-term use in the future.

**<span style="color: rgb(114,150,197);">Frequently Asked Questions: **
Q. What makes us different from other solar companies? A. We have extraordinary ideas for making solar the perfect example of a clean power source.

Q. How exactly does solar power work? A. The sun's rays provide power to heat water, which produces steam that runs on a wheel in a generator and the never-ending spinning and motion powers the electricity around King or Prussia area.

Q. How can we get around the few disadvantages of solar power and storing it? A. We can put the power plants in very sunny areas, rely on fossil fuels at night when we don’t need a lot of electricity, and when we use up all of the fossil fuels, by that time we will have found way to transfer the sun's energy via satellite.
