White Paper Assignment Brainstorm David, Anahita, Robert, Assia TOPIC: Current downsides of solar panel energy and why we should/shouldn’t use them FRONT MATTER: ROBERT INTRODUCTION: ANAHITA
● Introduce the basics of solar panel ○ Talk about energy distribution
● Reason for report ○ Why we need solar power
● Brief mention of the history of solar panels ● Brief summary/overview of dilemmas
○ What to do with old cells ■ Should we use higher output cells or more eco-friendly ones?
○ Issues with people living the grid ■ Distribution issues with solar panels
BACKGROUND: ASSIA
● Historic perspective ● Discuss different types of solar cells (output vs recyclability)
○ Quantum dot photovoltaic ○ Organic photovoltaic ○ Dye-sensitized solar cells ○ Perovskite solar cells ○ Silicon
● Development of solar power ● The benefit of solar power
○ The issue with recycling (1st dilemma) ● Potential dangers/cons of solar systems
○ Energy distribution (2nd dilemma)
DISCUSSION: DAVID ● What are the 2 ethical dilemmas?
○ What to do with old cells? ■ Should we use higher output cells or more eco-friendly ones?
○ Issues with people leaving the grid ■ Distribution issues with solar panels
RECOMMENDATIONS: ROBERT ● Eco friendly vs output:
○ Prioritize sustainability ■ The output will increase over time
● Distribution issues: ○ Incentivize staying on the grid
■ You can sell your excess energy ■ Tax right offs
○ Shifting towards decentralized energy ○ Government should shift more towards renewable energy
CONCLUSION: ANAHITA
● Summarize literally everything
BACK MATTER: ROBERT
