Solar Powered Cars By SolarCars on October 25‚ 2009 Cars that run on fossil fuels are still standard‚ but many would like to replace those diesel or gas engines with alternative fuels. One promising possibility is to develop solar powered cars. Although this is not yet a reality‚ prototypes have been built and proven to be functional and now many researchers are trying to find ways of using solar energy to power cars. Solar powered cars would have many advantages over those that run on fossil

Solar Power In India India’s power sector has a total installed capacity of approximately 1‚46‚753 Megawatt (MW) of which 54% is coal-based‚ 25% hydro‚ 8% is renewables and the balance is the gas and nuclear-based. Power shortages are estimated at about 11% of total energy and 15% of peak capacity requirements and are likely to increase in the coming years. In the next 10 years‚ another 10‚000 MW of capacity and investment of about Rs. 24 lakh crore are required. Fortunately‚ India lies in sunny

SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION IN INDIA Coming specifically to the land of much sun‚ heat and humidity as well as persistent power shortages‚ overdependence on coal (52%) and huge oil and gas imports‚ solar energy production in India remains appallingly low. This is made evident by the minimal range of solar energy products in India. Solar lighting (solar lamps‚ street lights)‚ rural electrification‚ solar water heaters‚ solar cookers and PV pumps sum up the measly range of solar energy products

Concentrated Solar Power An Analysis on Solar Thermal Power and its Application Hassan Almutawa and Chavis Sabin Abstract Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a renewable energy source that converts the radiation from the Sun into thermal energy. CSP plants collect solar energy throughout the day and can continue to provide electricity for up to six hours after dark using thermal storage. CSP plants can only be built in arid flat areas with a high annual solar radiation rating. Many countries

green is not strictly a new technological concept‚ and any naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible energy such as wind‚ biomass‚ and solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ hydroelectric power that is not derived from fossil or nuclear fuel is referred to as renewable energy. 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
