We are looking for an official corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM.
Estamos buscando un corrector oficial de las frases en español. Si usted está interesado, por favor envíeme un PM.
Sinmeta will be correcting the Spanish sentences as his time permits. We still need more help with this very important task. Please correct your sentences according to his suggestions.
There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.
Guidelines:
Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Have fun experimenting with Spanish.

Examples:
1. El poder solar es una alternativa ecológica para generar energía.
Solar power is an ecological alternative to generate energy.
2. Es difícil ver un eclipse solar ya que mirar al sol directamente es peligroso.
It's difficult to see a solar eclipse since it is dangerous to look directly at the sun.
Until we have an official Spanish corrector, please help with any suggestions to the Spanish sentences as you are able. It is very much appreciated. Thank you all for being here at SD and for participating in La Palabra Del Dia!

Durante mucho tiempo fue un sueño para la humanidad aprovechar la energía potencial que proporciona el sol, transformarla y usarla a su antojo.

La energía solar es una fuente de energía renovable que presenta muchas ventajas, ya que no produce emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, es inagotable y tiene muchas aplicaciones, tanto a nivel doméstico como a gran escala. Sin embargo, también presenta algunas desventajas, como son la variación de la cantidad de energía que se puede producir a lo largo del año, el elevado costo inicial y el impacto visual de los paneles instalados.
