Summary Draft 2 (Solar Light Panels)

 The Economic Times’ article on “What are solar light panels and how do they work” (2019) informs readers about the purpose, features, and applications of solar light panels. The Economic Times states that solar light panels are used for “residential and commercial lighting purposes” and that the panels are made of “photovoltaic (PV) modules.” The modules are composed of “high-quality” solar cells and that these solar cells are made of crystalline silicone. These cells will absorb energy from the sun and convert it to electrical energy for other purposes (The Economic Times, 2019). In the system, there are cells that are “either connected or not connected to the main power grid “. When the system is linked to the power grid, DC (Direct Current) power is generated through the PV panels and is transformed into AC (Alternating Current) power through a power conditioning unit (The Economic Times, 2019). Power developed during daytime is used for “lighting systems.” Some of the features of the solar light panels include it being durable and that the “individual solar cells are semiconductors and can produce electricity on their own.” Benefits of the solar powered system includes the reduction for the use of limited resources and that these cells do not produce harmful greenhouse gases. (The Economic Times, 2019). According to the article, solar light panels can be found in households to reduce cost and cut down global warming issues. They are also used in everyday gadgets like our “calculators, watches, torches, and flashlights. “Due to the limited number of natural resources, it is better that we adopt the use of renewable energy sources such as solar light energy to conserve our precious resources and reduce pollution in the environment.

Due to global warming being a persistent issue in the current times, Singapore should increase the usage of solar light panels as one of our main primary sources of energy as it provides many benefits and protects our environment.

Due to global warming being a persistent issue in the current times, Singapore should increase the usage of solar light panels as one of our main primary sources of energy as resources are finite and there is a need to cut down on usage of our limited resources and reduce greenhouse emissions.
