Think about the benefits of solar power and the impact it can have on people’s lives

People who have unreliable or no access to electricity find their lives changed for the better if they do have access to reliable electricity. One of the ways of providing them with reliable electricity is for them to be able to generate electricity from renewable sources such as wind turbines or solar panels. Use this resource to think about the benefits of solar energy to people around the world.
