Line of Inquiry

1. What value does solar power have and how is it effecting the United States?
I wonder why the U.S is using more solar panel fields now than they did a decade and a half ago.
I wonder how much energy one solar panel brings in a year.
I wonder if we the people would use solar energy more and if it would lower the cost of our
electricity bill.
I wonder about the cost efficiency and how much it costs to get a solar field started.
