How is it transformed into other forms of usable energy?

It is transformed into other forms of usable energy with solar panels!

The Future!!!!

Solar Energy has a huge impact on the enviroment. We can see because of it, and we can see, and stay warm enough to live. Also, plants can grow from it, too! Also, we can see the moon and stars from the sun.

Solar energy is very expensive to buy because it's difficult to process. This is why not many houses are powered by solar energy. You won't see many solar powered oven or stoves, either.
