to Congress‚ 2/24/09) Solar energy is the cleanest‚ most abundant‚ renewable energy source available which described as the sun’s rays that reach the earth and can then be converted into either thermal (heat) or electricity. Solar energy converted into heat can be used to: heat water for use in homes and buildings and heat spaces. Solar energy can be converted into electricity in two ways: 1) photovoltaic cells; and 2) solar thermal plants (also known as concentrated solar power or CSP)‚ which are

Risks and Limitations Tesla stands to lose momentum in its culture if the proposed solution fails‚ so it is important to address a few of the risks and limitations. The company must avoid major culture degradation if it wants to remain relevant in the luxury car industry. Tesla’s “cool factor” culture and state-of-the-art technology has made an impression in the United States. However‚ will the company be able to maintain this excitement when expanding? Tesla will most likely face some degree

HISTORY OF SOLAR ENERGY Jake Tutorow Indiana Institute of Technology Fort Wayne‚ IN Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explain the history of solar energy as well as the difficulties faced in acquiring government support and investments for infrastructure and technological gains. The history of solar energy is broken into five distinct categories: Earth energy‚ the ancient solar age‚ the modern solar age‚ solar in the 1950s‚ solar today‚ and agriculture. Earth energy focuses on the understanding

Alternate energy source: Solar Energy Solar energy is one of most popular energy sources around the world. this is because it us conveniently to obtainable‚ as well as space efficient. It doesn’t take up a lot space and give superb energy. The sun is one of the most reliable energy sources on this planet. This is because the sun has been predicted to stay “alive” for many million years to come. It’s radiation also does not fluctuate from day to day like other sources of energy. Solar energy is most commonly

Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

The relevance of these emerging fields became more pronounced when the need to produce clean‚ safe and efficient energy devices without trading off environmental friendliness arise. The current electricity production from fossil fuels like natural gas‚ oil and coal are large and environmentally unfriendly. Thus‚ because they bear the limitations that they rely
