go 13 of the sustainable development
goals climate action what is the impact
of solar energy and solar panels on
climate change wait Nick Nick basically
lives on the web he works from home goes
to school online and in his free time he
loves to game unfortunately for Nick his
neighborhood is on a bad power grid and
he loses power even during the smallest
storm recently a hurricane left Nick
without power for 10 days during this
time he wasn't able to work or do
homework and has now backed up with both
he looks up alternative energy sources
to prevent this from happening again and
learns more about solar energy and
starts to consider putting solar panels
on his house Nick isn't completely sure
he wants to commit installing solar
panels can be very expensive despite the
cost there are a lot of advantages of
switching over to solar panels not only
does it pay for itself in the long run
but it also helps the environment solar
panels have a huge impact on climate
change in keeping the planet free of
harmful greenhouse gases like carbon
dioxide basically solar panels use the
Sun to generate power instead of burning
non-renewable resources like coal and
natural gases the energy they created
clean and they reduce the amount of
climate changing chemicals into the air
also solar panels create regional
cooling by converting incoming solar
energy to electricity by switching over
to solar panels Nick is also helping to
fight against climate change which plays
a role in all the storms that Nick hates
so much solar panels are the future of
clean energy using the power of the Sun
to power homes keeps our planet clean in
our future bright
