Why aren't we only using solar power?

Can 100% renewable energy power the world?

Solar Energy Science Experiments

This post was inspired by a link I found on tumblr.  Try out some of these solar energy home experiments.

As always, any experiment you do should be supervised by a responsible adult.
 
The first experiment I found was making a solar oven from the US department of energy.  This looks like a lot of fun.  I kept looking and found that the San Francisco Chronicle has a list of 4 different solar home experiments for kids.  I then found two experiments published by a solar energy company.  Finally, I found a site called Energy Quest that has a ton of different projects and lessons about many types of energy, including solar.
