Advantages of Solar Energy in India Solar energy provides cost effective solutions to energy problems where there is no electricity at all. Some of the advantages of solar energy which makes it all the more suitable for India are as follows: No Pollution : Solar energy is environment friendly. Solar energy is non-polluting‚ clean‚ reliable and renewable source of electricity. It does not pollute the air by releasing harmful gases like carbon dioxide‚ nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide. Solar energy does not

Cause/Effect: Solar Energy Solar radiation is an energy resource many times larger than mankind’s energy needs. Mankind has been able to capture/harness this energy resource‚ but only on a limited scale. Mankind has found that the use of the sun was quite useful. They used it to grow and dry crops‚ dry clothing‚ produce heat‚ and for light. The sun is a sphere‚ on the inside of the sun there is a continuous process of fusion in which hydrogen nuclei combine to from helium nuclei. There is less

Advantages Solar cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Compared to other renewable sources they also possess many advantages; wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy‚ expensive and liable to breaking down. Rooftop power is a good way of supplying energy to a growing community

the development of a vibrant solar industry. In 2006‚ SB1 established the California Solar Initiative. The initiative’s ambitious goal is to place solar electric systems on a million California roofs by 2016‚ with a total generating capacity of 3‚000 megawatts‚ equivalent to the peak output of three large nuclear reactors. Initiative critics claim that solar electricity is too expensive‚ and that the money spent on solar incentives would be better spent on other energy options. These critics‚ including

amount of energy in the form of heat. All of this geothermal energy has the potential to generate geothermal power to provide large amounts of electricity. People have used geothermal energy in the form of hot springs for centuries‚ however‚ the first attempt to generate electricity from this energy source did not occur until the 20th century. The production of electricity from geothermal energy sources can be a highly efficient method to generate a source of clean and renewable energy. Location

CASE: BE-17 DATE: 12/2/2011 REI’S SOLAR ENERGY PROGRAM By making these investments‚ we’re going to have strong cash flows 10‚ 20‚ 25 years from now‚ and that’s a huge benefit. We’re making a business decision that’s going to help REI fulfill its vision of being viable 100 years from now. 1 —Tim Nuse‚ REI’s Energy Manager In 2010‚ Recreational Equipment‚ Inc. (REI) considered adding photovoltaic solar panels to the roofs of some of its facilities. This was driven by both financial and environmental

Disadvantages of Alternative Energy Sources 1. Introduction Report suggests that the current main energy sources are fossil fuels (e. g. oil‚ gas‚ and coal) (Planete energies‚ n.d.). However‚ fossil fuels are non-renewable‚ it will run out in future and the price of oil‚ gas and electricity keeps rising yearly. As a result‚ the need of alternative energy is important. The main alternative sources are nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ wind energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ biomass power and geothermal

The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels including domestic energy consumption and transportation (e.g. car and plane). We have direct control of these. 2. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use - those associated with their manufacture and
