Solar Energy

PrISUm - Solar Car Program at ISU

We receive a lot of energy from the sun in the form of light and heat. This energy is called solar energy, but it can be challenging to store this energy and save it for when we are ready to use it. A team of students at Iowa State University have applied ideas about solar energy to build a car that gets its energy from the sun rather than gas! Where else have you seen people collecting solar energy?
