Background * Three solar energy * Solar electric (太阳电能): convert the sun’s energy into electricity * Solar thermal (太阳热能): used the sun for heating or cooling * Concentrating solar: mixed both above as it used small optical mirrors to collect solar energy and convert the sunlight to heat. The heat was then applied to a liquid and gas to turn a turbine‚ thereby creating electricity * Grid-tied * Solar electric system that were connected to an electricity utility

Community Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy

from Earth without the aid of a telescope. They may also travel at relative speeds ("proper motions") of a few hundred meters per second when they first emerge onto the solar photosphere. Manifesting intense magnetic activity‚ sunspots host secondary phenomena such as coronal loops (prominences) and reconnection events. Most solar flares and coronal mass ejections originate in magnetically active regions around visible sunspot groupings. Similar phenomena indirectly observed on stars are commonly

” a clear plastic soda bottle filled with water and installed in the roof as a skylight. The water refracts the sunlight as it streams through the bottle‚ dispersing the rays 360 degrees‚ thereby illuminating the entire room. The recipients of the solar bottle bulbs‚ who pay about $1 for the bulb and installation‚ save money on electricity and cut back on the use of kerosene‚ candles‚ and other fuels that

Contents Introduction Solar energy has experienced an impressive technological shift. While early solar technologies consisted of small-scale photovoltaic (PV) cells‚ recent technologies are represented by solar concentrated power (CSP) and also by large-scale PV systems that feed into electricity grids. The costs of solar energy technologies have dropped substantially over the last 30 years. The rapid expansion of the solar energy market can be attributed to a number of supportive

Solar seeker: In this project we design a solar seeker to follow a sun. solar seeker follow the sun and if the sensor attach on the sensor a sense a sun then solar seeker is stop automatically. Now after some time sun move from its position‚ then again seeker sensor sense the light and move the motor very slowly. If the sensor sense the signal then automatically stop the seeker . Movement of the seeker is restricted from left to right for limited area. To control the left and right limit

Solar power: In fact‚ every minute‚ enough energy arrives at the Earth to meet our demands for a whole year - if only we could harness it properly. The Delhi Metro came to a standstill yet again on Tuesday afternoon after services were suspended for two hours due to collapse of the Northern Power Grid for the second consecutive day‚ causing inconvenience to commuters. As the power grid collapsed at around 1 pm‚ Delhi Metro trains stopped on tracks‚ some inside tunnels‚ due to no supply of power

1. Our solar system is made up of the sun and everything that travels around it. This includes eight planets and their natural satellites such as Earth’s moon; dwarf planets such as Pluto and Ceres; asteroids; comets and meteoroids 2. The sun is the center of our solar system. It contains almost all of the mass in our solar system and exerts a tremendous gravitational pull on planets and other bodies. 3. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. 4.
