Weaponry‚ its essence From a civilian’s viewpoint‚ such an extensive amount of energy should be allotted to an important aspect of the society and the government. There are several reasons why solar energy should be invested on the military. 1- In the present geopolitical situation‚ the military is the biggest asset a country can have. Taking a look at worldwide politics‚ a country’s strength is contingent upon how able it is to combat other countries to prevent them from bullying

Optimization of Transformers in Solar Energy As renewable sources of energy are becoming more appealing for economical and environmental reasons‚ it is important to explore ways to optimize our production of these alternative forms of energy. Solar energy is one of the cleanest options for renewable energy but is less preferable due to the short term cost effectiveness of constructing mass solar plants. It is important to try and improve upon the existing technology of solar power production as a means

Solar Energy The use of solar energy is increasing throughout the world. Solar energy is used to make light‚ run computers and to conserve energy. Today we used fossil fuel to run factories and make electricity but little do the people know‚ one day we are going to run out of oil because it’s not a renewable source. Then what are we going to do ? We would have no other choice then to start using the sun for energy‚ so why not start now ? Solar energy is one of the world’s

Market Analysis Opportunities India had an installed solar power capacity of 1700 MW in 2007 which amounted to roughly 1% of its total power generation of 130‚000 MW. India is currently ranked 7th in the world in Solar PV cell production. But considering India’s geographic location and climatic conditions‚ this is a huge market waiting to be tapped. India receives bright sunlight almost throughout the year especially in West and Central parts of the country. Due to global warming and rising CO2

receives extremely large amounts of energy coming from the sun. Solar energy has become a number one option for a future reliable‚ greener energy source. An article by the National Academy of Engineering‚ Make Solar Energy Economical‚ has proposed this issue as one of the many challenges engineers face this 21st century. The academy emphasizes‚ the sun’s “availability far exceeds any conceivable future energy demands. It is environmentally clean‚ and its energy is transmitted from the sun to the Earth

Why Do We Need Solar Energy? With the world’s natural resources depleting rapidly‚ humans must find a way to compensate. This society has milked oil‚ coal‚ gasoline‚ lead‚ uranium‚ and many other of these reservoirs in our Earth for hundreds of years and much has been done. Asphalt was used for our roads and highways‚ coal was originally used for heat before there was oil‚ and even water was used as a form of electricity on many rural farms. Luckily‚ more companies around the world are waking

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
