-Before Mindmap

Three Key Questions (and sample answers):

1. How can you implement solar energy into your life?
- Lighting (indoor & Outdoor)
- Hot Water systems
- Solar chargers (eg for electronics)
- Solar Ovens
- Pools and Spas- run by solar
- Solar Panels on roof (homes, cabins, caravans)
2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy?
Advantages:
- Solar energy is sustainable
- Solar is a silent producer of energy
- Solar produces zero emissions; this is critical for our health and the earths sustainability for future generations
- Solar energy requires little maintenance; only occasional repairs and maintenance from a qualified professional
- This type of energy is renewable and therefore as a society we will never run out of it
Disadvantages:
- The cost of installing and setting up solar panels can be extremely expensive
- This type of energy cant created during the night
- On cloudy days energy is still produced but the amount is reduced
3. What can Australia do to maximize solar energy and its benefits?
- Lower the cost of installation of solar energy systems
- Encourage the installation of more solar PV systems on Australians rooftops.

Jaimee: explain the after mind

map activity.
