      Hi Leah – I haven’t actually worked in a solar panel factory – I work in a university. But I do work on solar related projects.

      I think that we need alternatives to the gas and oil that we rely on just now. Because we’ve got so dependent on having energy we need to explore lots of different options. I think that solar energy could be very useful to us in the future. Most people are aware of solar cells and the fact that they can generate electricity. I’m also interesting in the potential of solar energy to make heat directly for a building.
