Solar Energy The Sun is a star and without it there would be no life on earth. This is why the Sun is called the ultimate source of energy. The Sun’s energy is produced by a process called nuclear fusion. Every second‚ the Sun emits vast amounts of energy‚ much of which is light‚ and this solar radiation can be converted into electricity. Plants and trees are pretty good at collecting this energy. With the help of green chlorophyll‚ they use light energy to make food – they’re our solar powered

With the fuel crisis seen in the last decade and the current gasoline prices at an all time high there was need for a renewable source of energy that was more affordable and eco-friendly. Solar energy was the perfect answer. Almost all energy on Earth comes from the sun. The Solar technology aims at converting the Sun’s light energy into a direct current which can

Characteristics A solar panel is a collection of many small solar cells spread over a large area. These solar cells work together to provide sufficient energy to power a given item. (Northwestern University) Their creation is a very delicate process which is why many of their advancements did not come until last quarter of the 20th century. In this period‚ advancements in semiconductors and photovoltaic products allowed efficient and cost effective solar panels to be produced. (Solar Panel Info)

First slide: The purpose of “Solar paint” invention is to generate inexpensive electricity because various efforts have been made for this kind of power generation over the previous few decades. It is an environment friendly technology which has eliminated the need of solar cell. It is completely reasonable and sustainable. Solar paint is consisted of organic solar cell paint. These organic solar cells are protected from water through ecofriendly synthetic sheets for example PET and therefore

assignment is based on solar energy and the title is “Solar Energy: and infinite resource meeting our infinite demand.” Firstly‚ solar energy is then introduced where it states that the energy radiated from sun is the solar energy which is essential for Earth. The aspects to be covered and the motivation for choosing solar energy are then explained. Pictures of solar cells are provided to have a better view of how solar power is generated. In addition‚ the importance of solar power is explained which

for a greener planet and renewable energy sources‚ solar energy is one of the most widely used and abundant in nature. The sun is readily available resource‚ and the energy from the sun can be captured and can be used for many applications. One of the applications is the use of this energy from the Sun for our energy needs. The solar energy from the Sun can be converted into Electrical energy. The device that does this work of converting Solar energy to Electrical energy is the PV cell. This PV

Solar power: In fact‚ every minute‚ enough energy arrives at the Earth to meet our demands for a whole year - if only we could harness it properly. The Delhi Metro came to a standstill yet again on Tuesday afternoon after services were suspended for two hours due to collapse of the Northern Power Grid for the second consecutive day‚ causing inconvenience to commuters. As the power grid collapsed at around 1 pm‚ Delhi Metro trains stopped on tracks‚ some inside tunnels‚ due to no supply of power

Solar seeker: In this project we design a solar seeker to follow a sun. solar seeker follow the sun and if the sensor attach on the sensor a sense a sun then solar seeker is stop automatically. Now after some time sun move from its position‚ then again seeker sensor sense the light and move the motor very slowly. If the sensor sense the signal then automatically stop the seeker . Movement of the seeker is restricted from left to right for limited area. To control the left and right limit
