{draw:a} Student no: 12311461. *Course: Entrepreneurship* (LB5207). Topic: Solar cars- Golden rays ready to replace Black Gold. With the fuel crisis seen in the last decade and the current gasoline prices at an all time high there was need for a renewable source of energy that was more affordable and eco-friendly. Solar energy was the perfect answer. Almost all energy on Earth comes from the sun. The Solar technology aims at converting the Sun’s light energy into a direct current which can

New ’solar paint’ could generate electricity from the roofs and walls of EVERY home without the need for bulky panels * ’Nanocrystals’ used to generate power * Can be painted or printed onto walls or windows * So tiny you could fit 250‚000‚000‚000 on head of a pin * Thin enough to be painted or printed onto walls One day‚ a thin film of ’solar panel’ could be painted over windows and walls to turn every home into a giant hi-tech ’sun trap’. The hi-tech solution could make solar

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

has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth. This energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. * In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel famously used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. solar energy can be used to: * Heat water — for

Solar Roadways 2. Contents Introduction Theory Structure Advantages Disadvantages References 3. Introduction The Solar Roadways consists of structurally engineered solar panels that we drive on. Each Solar Road Panel (roughly 12’ by 12’) interlinks with neighboring panels to form the Solar Roadways system. The Solar Roadway generates electrical power from the sun and becomes a nation’s decentralized‚ intelligent‚ self-healing power grid‚ replacing our current deteriorating power distribution
