Li‚ 1 2-16-13 Solar Energy: The Energy of the Future Our Earth’s resorvoir of resources seem to be limitless‚ but with the exponential growth of the human population; the need for efficient alternative energy sources is becoming urgent. Therefore‚ research companies and individuals are focusing on creating new energy systems. Fossil fuels are are depleting and becoming more difficult to obtain. The earth will face an energy crisis in the near future if humans are not careful with their consumption

solar designs. They created buildings with southern-facing windows that allowed the sun to heat and light their homes. In the nineteenth century‚ a French physicist named Edmund Bequerel discovered that light energy could create a “photovoltaic effect.” A “photovoltaic effect” occurs when a device uses light from the sun to create an electric current. Solar cells were invented in the

technologies include solar heating‚ solar photovoltaics‚ solar thermal electricity‚ solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis‚ which can make considerable contributions to solving some of the most urgent energy problems the world now faces.[1][2] Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way they capture‚ convert and distribute solar energy. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to

Identify three renewable energy sources and assess their potential to replace fossil fuel The rapid depletion of fossil fuels has given serious warning that the era of using conventional energy is coming to an end. Due to the energy shortage‚ a need to find replacement of fossil fuels has appeared. Moreover‚ problems such as various pollution and serious climate change have occurred‚ which makes renewable and less pollution energy source alternative choices. Therefore‚ three options can be suggested

INTRODUCTION In these days people are trying to find new energy sources. Because present energy sources are running down. So‚ alternative energy is so popular in these days. Because it has no danger to human life like nuclear powerplants‚ it is free to use and it has no waste. There are three types of alternative energy sources: Solar‚ wind and water. This report will be about solar energy. Its purpose is giving some information about solar energy to mechanical engineering students and

Introduction Climate change is one of significant issues that have been considered in recent years. According to Anderson (2009)‚ most climate researchers recognise it is essential to reduce 80 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 to prohibit effects of climate change. Furthermore‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important causes to produce GHG which is combusted from heating‚ transportation and electricity generated by fossil fuels. However‚ one of the solutions for
