to Congress‚ 2/24/09) Solar energy is the cleanest‚ most abundant‚ renewable energy source available which described as the sun’s rays that reach the earth and can then be converted into either thermal (heat) or electricity. Solar energy converted into heat can be used to: heat water for use in homes and buildings and heat spaces. Solar energy can be converted into electricity in two ways: 1) photovoltaic cells; and 2) solar thermal plants (also known as concentrated solar power or CSP)‚ which are

A solar car is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy. This is the result obtained from solar panels on the surface (usually the top) of the vehicle. Photovoltaic cells integrated into the panels convert the sun’s energy directly into electrical energy‚ electricity is captured and then stored in batteries that power the electric motor of the car. Electrical systems and electronic control the operation from capture to storage of solar energy received."In 1982‚ the Australian Hans Tholstrup built

Solar Power In India India’s power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1‚46‚753 Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based‚ 25% hydro‚ 8% is renewables and the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely to increase in the coming years. In the next 10 years‚ another 10‚000 MW of capacity and investment of about Rs. 24 lakh crore are required. Fortunately‚ India lies in sunny

Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy: The major benefit of solar is avoiding green house gases that fossil fuels produce. The first and foremost advantage of solar energy is that it does not emit any greenhouse gases. Solar energy is produced by conducting the sun’s radiation – a process void of any smoke‚ gas‚ or other chemical by-product. This is the main driving force behind all green energy technology‚ as nations attempt to meet climate change obligations in curbing emissions. Italy’s

SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION IN INDIA Coming specifically to the land of much sun‚ heat and humidity as well as persistent power shortages‚ overdependence on coal (52%) and huge oil and gas imports‚ solar energy production in India remains appallingly low. This is made evident by the minimal range of solar energy products in India. Solar lighting (solar lamps‚ street lights)‚ rural electrification‚ solar water heaters‚ solar cookers and PV pumps sum up the measly range of solar energy products

Practicability of Solar Panel as a Modified Power Saver Introduction Despite the advent of technological breakthrough‚ different issues and controversies about the shortage of Power Supply is an important matter being talked about nowadays. The higher the demand the lesser the supply‚ that is what the Economic Analysts would say when there is a price increase issue. Every year‚ human population increase and so as the product demand of every living human bag in this world. When the population
