During this activity students learn how the innovative engineering of photovoltaics enables us to transform the sun’s energy into electricity using photovoltaic panels. At first, in this activity we will explain how people use the sun as a renewable energy source for power on Earth as also, how the sun is used as a renewable energy source for power in space missions.
Moreover, students will learn about some major criteria and conditions to be addressed in order to select optimal areas for PV solar panels placement on Earth, Moon and Mars.
