Abstract
Effect of Solar energy on water quality explains that this research can affect many people for
which the solar energy can be produce in many uses. People who are drinking from the different
types of water might lead their way to bad situation for which the solar energy can also gather
some negative effects but base from our research the solar energy cannot produce water
pollution. The important thing in this study is that the water should be clean so that people who
are drinking will not have bad effects. Otherwise it tells us that when the solar energy affect the
quality of the water it should be always clean. There are some water that have different kinds of
effect to living creatures in any places, which could lead to their deaths since many animals are
already dying and going extinct. Our topic is also about how solar energy affects different kinds
of water quality and their turbidity they are like water pollution. The Effects on solar energy on
water quality is almost like water pollution but a little less harmful to earth since some people
use or get water from wells or rivers which may contain a lot of bacteria since we don’t know
how it is filled with water that we were also able to find out that when the water stays longer in
the sun the turbidity changes. The results are that the color/the turbidity of the water change due
to the temperature of the solar energy. After gathering data’s, therefore we conclude that each
type of water quality should be observe properly so that when people drinks water there will be
no harmed. Also, we make sure that the water should always be clean.
INTRODUCTION
This scientific investigation focuses on determining the effects of solar energy on water
quality. Solar energy systems/power plants do not produce air pollution, water pollution, or
greenhouse gases. It has been observed that using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect
on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that
have larger effects on the environment this prompted the researchers to conduct an investigation
about solar energy on water quality because it may affect the environment.
According to the study of Mai, T. it was found out that there are no global warming
emissions associated with generating electricity from solar energy, there are emissions associated
with other stages of the solar life-cycle, including manufacturing, materials transportation,
conducted by eia.gov revealed using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the
environment however, some toxic materials and chemicals are used to make photovoltaic (PV)
cells that convert sunlight to electricity. Some solar thermal systems use potentially hazardous
fluids to transfer heat. Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment. U.S.
environmental laws regulate the use and disposal of these types of materials. lastly, study was
one of the leading green energy sources as the world moves increasingly away from fossil fuels=
This study is significant to solar energy through water quality because it can help them
make more energy than before and makes the water more cleaner than it is now. The result of
this study may further enhance the advancement in people who are able or willing to help clean
up the waters and use solar energy then using electricity because we use fossil fuel or trees to
make electricity which isn’t good because we are losing a lot of trees and oxygen. which could
give an important impact on the world for we are suffering from pollution and that we might be
able to save the animals who are living in the water for they need a home. We also have to make
sure that we are able to make the experiment right that we are able to use the effect of solar
Questions of Investigation
This science investigation aims to find the effect of solar energy to the water quality of the
environment.
Hypothesis
There is no significant difference in water quality when solar energy is used but based on
what we found on books and on our research. It seems that there is an actual difference on
water quality when the effects of solar energy are produced. But there is actually a difference
Research Design
experiment setup to test your hypothesis and find out if your hypothesis incorrect (Science
Stuff, 2006). The experimental setup will receive solar energy while the control setup will be
the water quality variable. The independent variable is the brand of water or source of water
used and the dependent variable is how many chemicals are in the water.
Materials
Water PH meter
Procedure:
First, we take a sample and place it in the beaker from the water that wasn’t placed in solar
energy. Then we will place the PH meter on the water that was placed in the Beaker in the
solar energy leaving behind the sample of water and after which we are going to observe
after 5 mins. if the texture and turbidity of the water changed. Lastly, we are going to
Table 1.
Water Quality level before and after the solar energy will affect it
Presentation Of Results
Table 1 presents the water quality level before and after the solar energy experiment. In
the PH level group, the PH level is 6.1, 6.9, and 7.1 interpreted as low before the solar energy
affects it. After the experiment the PH level is now 7.3, 7.5, and 7.4. While before solar energy
affect the water, the turbidity of it was low and the water’s substance is translucent. Then After
the solar energy affect the water, the turbidity changed and it became medium turbidity which
Discussion of Results
The results are that the color or the turbidity of the water change due to the temperature of the
solar energy. We found out that there are many chemicals in the water that might harm many
people. Also, we were able to notice that the different qualities of water has different uses in the
environment. We found out that we need to be observative when we drink the water.
Conclusion After gathering data’s, therefore we conclude that each type of water quality should
be observe properly so that when people drinks water there will be no harmed. Also, we need to
Recommendation
We recommend that using of solar energy on the quality of water since it also useful for
the earth and that solar energy is also able to produce. Mineral water is clean than the other two.
Based on the experiment that we have conducted mineral water can be use as drinking water
