the requirements for today’s “Green Energy” demand; and is it ready to be implemented? Solar air conditioning is any air conditioning system that uses solar power. This can be achieved through passive solar‚ solar thermal energy conversion and photovoltaic conversion (sunlight to electricity) methods. >Passive solar does not use thermal energy to create a cold environment or drive any direct cooling processes. Is implemented by using Cool roofs‚ that are roofs that can deliver high solar reflectance

Solar Energy Products Marketing In Rural India Rajshekhar Patne The recently released Global Status Report on renewable says that grid-connected solar Photovoltaics (PV) has been the fastest growing energy technology in the world with 50 per cent annual growth in cumulative installed capacity in last two years. The majority of the above capacity comes from Germany‚ Japan‚ Spain‚ and the US which have installed small PV systems (a few kilowatts to tens of kilowatts) on their rooftops

equal to more than 10 percent of demand in the United States [source: LaMonica]. Shake the image of solar panels from your head -- that kind of demand is going to require power plants. There are two main ways of generating energy from the sun. Photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating solar thermal (CST)‚ also known as concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies. PV converts sunlight directly into electricity. These solar cells are usually found powering devices such as watches‚ sunglasses and backpacks
