The local council of Greenville recently made a proposal for all houses and businesses to install solar hot-water systems by 2010. Houses and businesses that who have not installed solar hot-water systems by then would be charged a “greenhouse levy”. However some residents have expressed anger over the proposal. “Solar Sellout” published in a local newspaper‚ an opinion piece and its accompanying cartoon written Bob Walsh‚ contends that the proposal which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is

a) Photovoltaic solar power systems are environmentally beneficial because they release no harmful pollutants or emissions such as CO2. These systems operate throughout the day‚ implying it is sunny‚ and do not rely greatly on other power sources to operate‚ thus there is less of a toll on the environment in terms of external resource usage. An environmental cost of photovoltaic systems is the manufacturing of these systems that uses energy and could possibly contribute to more atmospheric pollution

ABSTRACT Solar energy is rapidly gaining notoriety as an important means of expanding renewable energy resources. As such‚ it is vital that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area. This project includes the design and construction of a microcontroller-based solar panel tracking system. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. This system builds upon topics learned in this course. To
