Part I

Grammar

1. Read the text paying attention to the parts in bold.

The ever-increasing shortage of fossil fuels, rising gasoline prices, and global warming are causing people and governments to look with greater interest at renewable resources as a viable and more "earth-friendly" option to the energy problem.

The use of solar energy as a power source is not a new one. Perhaps the greatest advancement in Photovoltaic research has been thin cell solar research, or nanotechnology. This is the use of very tiny cells created through silicon and other minerals to collect solar energy. The creation of nanoparticles has allowed developers to create shingles coated in these cells as well as to develop a spray-on coating that can be sprayed onto another material, such as the roof of a building. This spray-on coating contains the nanoparticles and enables other items to also collect solar energy and convert it into electricity.

Solar collectors do not have to be placed on the roof of the building for which they are intended to be used. They can be placed anywhere where they will be able to get the maximum amount of daylight.,. One of the most interesting parts of emerging solar technology is a tracking system design, which allows the panels to tilt and follow the sun as it travels across the sky, much as a sunflower does.
