| It's important to distinguish between the two | | | | Solar panels, when it comes to renewable energy, |

| non-renewable. Renewable energy is that energy | | | | better photovoltaic cells (these cells collect and |
| that can be created over and over again. | | | | then convert solar energy to usable electricity) |
| Examples include electricity generated from wind | | | | and the panels themselves have come down in |
| power that turns windmill turbines which in turn | | | | price as they've become more common. Normally, |
