Aleksander Tucker 21 April 2013 ECS 310 Wind and Solar Power Wind and solar power are the future. They are clean‚ renewable‚ and infinite sources of energy and allow for energy to be produced domestically. They are also complimentary; Wind and solar energy will also be economically beneficial. Maintenance is easy‚ and long-term cost is a great advantage. Wind turbines and solar panels can also be very aesthetically attractive‚ and people can comfortably live around them. Human health risk is

Solar water disinfection Solar water disinfection is a type of water purification system that uses solar energy in order to make contaminated water safe to drink. This is done by eliminating contagious biological organisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ protozoa and worms. This process can only be taken place on biological agents non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals disinfection may not make all kinds of water safe to drink. Therefore additional steps away from disinfection

Solar Panel The world’s energy demands increase year after year‚ while its resources are consistently being depleted in order to sustain these energy demands. These limited resources will one day be no more. A dependable source of renewable energy must be found. Currently solar energy is not efficient enough to sustain the population. However‚ the technology is constantly advancing‚ and solar energy could one day be that source. The solar cell’s roots can be traced all the way back

| | Environmental Benefits of Solar Solar Panels Produce Electricity with Zero EmissionsSolar energy generated via solar panels (also known as Photovoltaic Solar or PV solar) is one of the most sustainable ways we have of generating energy and electricity today. First and foremost solar panels produce electricity without emissions of any kind. The majority of electricity we use in the United States today is generated from burning coal. Recently there has been a lot excitement around the idea

Nanosolar Inc. Case Study Analysis Nanosolar is a start-up company and expects to be one of the first manufacturers to produce thin-film solar panels using copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) technology. Nanosolar is focused on selling a single type of thin-film Photovoltaic (PV) module called the “Nanosolar Utility Panel”. The utility panel is 50% less energy efficient than c-Si modules‚ but being 90% less expensive to produce. Strategic Options: (1) Continue to invest in European and

Chapter 1 Introduction The notion of going green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current
