It will run on clean electric power with the ability to recharge the battery 3 separate ways: through the charger‚ by photovoltaic solar panels and by dynamo. Hybrid bicycles has been since 1895 on 31 December‚ Ogden Bolton Jr. was granted U.S. Patent 552‚271 for a battery-powered bicycle with “6-pole brush-and-commutator direct current (DC) hub motor mounted in the rear wheel

Human activity is overloading worlds atmosphere with global warming‚ which creates heats‚ drive up the worlds temperature. It comes from photovoltaic effect which creates energy‚ as it does not pollute environment‚ gives health and safety benefits and is influencing people worldwide. Solar

Renewables contributed 19 percent to our energy consumption and 22 percent to our electricity generation in 2012 and 2013‚ respectively. Both‚ modern renewables‚ such as hydro‚ wind‚ solar and biofuels‚ as well as traditional biomass‚ contributed in about equal parts to the global energy supply. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$ 214 billion in 2013‚ with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind‚ hydro‚ solar and biofuels.

How solar energy is produced • Solar panels work through photovoltaic process o Radiation energy is absorbed and it generates electricity • Specifically‚ radiation energy is absorbed through semi conductor cells‚ which are normally silicon. Then it is transformed from light energy into electric current • When

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

PASSAGE: Alternative Energy Sources Passage Alternative Sources of Energy Leisa Pichard For six years‚ I lived with my family in a solar-powered home. We met all of our electrical needs with an eight-panel solar array‚ a battery system for storing the electricity‚ and a gas-powered‚ back-up generator. For us‚ solar power was a practical solution to a real problem. For what it would have cost us to have the power company run lines to our remote home‚ we could buy a complete power system
