Solar Energy is one of the many renewable sources that is produced by the sun in the form of light and heat. It is one of the most important non-conventional sources of energy due to the fact that its free and we have plenty of it. Humans have been using it since ancient times. Solar energy can be use two ways‚ we can convert it into heat energy or it can converted into electricity. It has had a rapid growth in recent years‚ accounting for less than one percent of electricity used in the United States

BLESSED BY MIGHTY SUN! Introducing solar power plant installation for electricity generation. Nepal is often jostled up amongst the facts and myths when it comes to hydro- electric power generation. There are facts that relate it to one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to resources. Then there is a myth‚ for a nation with such bountiful resources would have never been deprived of the basic needs like drinking water and electricity in this century. Amongst these dilemmas‚ the

Globalization: Technology and Development 22 April 2012 Tech Project: A Proposal to a Wind and Solar Energy NGO in Turkey INTRODUCTION Background. For many reasons‚ there has been an influx of demand for renewable energy production. All this demand rises from the initial issue that‚ at the moment‚ the world essentially runs on finite resources.Much of the world’s energy is currently produced and consumed in ways that are unsustainable if current technology and practices were left unchanged

It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record‚ killing at least 6‚300 people in that country alone. Yolanda is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall‚ and unofficially the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of wind speed (PAG-ASA‚ 2014). Super Typhoon

Alternative type of energy in Saudi Arabia: Oil and solar Introduction: Saudi Arabia is the largest oil producer in the world with a quarter of the world total oil. Till today more than 260 billion barrels have been produced by Saudi Arabia. Oil in Saudi has a large effect on Saudi Arabia economy. The Saudi economy rises when the price of oil rises and falls when the price of oil falls. Also Saudi oil generates a huge amount of energy which has a lot of uses that Saudis cannot live without it

“Solar Radiation and its Effects on Planet Earth” The Sun emits a tremendous amount of energy‚ in the form of electromagnetic radiation‚ into space. If we could somehow build a gigantic ball around the Sun that completely enclosed it‚ and lined that ball with perfectly efficient photovoltaic solar panels‚ we could capture all of that energy and convert it to electricity and be set in terms of Earth ’s energy needs for a very long time. Lacking such a fanciful sphere‚ most of the Sun ’s energy

growth was largely the result of an economic upswing and increased demand from defense and aerospace industries during the mid- and late 1980s. Woodward Governor’s sales leapt 13 percent in 1987 to $275 million as net earnings rose 37 percent to $24 million. By the end of the decade‚ moreover‚ the company was generating more than $300 million in revenues annually. Although Woodward Governor was helped by strong markets during much of the 1980s‚ its success was also attributed to its proven management

2.5 Aspects of Solar Cell Efficiency Most of the energy that reaches a cell in the form of sunlight is lost before it is converted to electricity. The usual efficiency of these systems ranges between 10% to 15%‚ though sometimes this efficiency increases to 30% and more. Certain physical properties affect the cell efficiency which we will briefly state. 1- Reflection: Studies show that untreated silicon reflects 36% or more of sunlight that strikes it.
