expects to be one of the first manufacturers to produce thin-film solar panels using copper indium gallium (di)selenide (CIGS) technology. Nanosolar is focused on selling a single type of thin-film Photovoltaic (PV) module called the “Nanosolar Utility Panel”. The utility panel is 50% less energy efficient than c-Si modules‚ but being 90% less expensive to produce. Strategic Options: (1) Continue to invest in European and Asian markets. (2) Enter US Utilities and Commercial Market Immediately. (3)

Solar car design Originally published on Solar Love. Generally speaking‚ I don’t think solar-powered cars are very practical. They are fun and do highlight how far we’ve come. They may help to advance certain electric car technologies and designs. However‚ except for certain niche situations (like a hospital car for rural Zimbabwe)‚ they have serious limitations. For one‚ solar panels aren’t cheap — risking their destruction or damage in a car accident doesn’t seem wise. Secondly‚ the sun

’radiation’ has to do with energy or matter moving through space. Space radiation affects astronauts when an amount of radiation gets through the walls of a space shuttle or station and enters the body. Solar radiation usually affects astronauts walking in space‚ outside of their space shuttles‚ but sometimes it can even affect the people on Earth‚ causing electricity failures. Many people - astronauts mostly- fear the consequences of solar radiation‚ due to the fact that solar radiation can cause dangerous

Solar water disinfection Solar water disinfection is a type of water purification system that uses solar energy in order to make contaminated water safe to drink. This is done by eliminating contagious biological organisms such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ protozoa and worms. This process can only be taken place on biological agents non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals disinfection may not make all kinds of water safe to drink. Therefore additional steps away from disinfection

umerous ways are presented to conserve energy. The process of conserving energy is not only how but also on what to use for it. Solar energy is one alternative energy source that would be converted to electricity by the use of these solar panels. Most solar panels are using silicon to produce the panels. The cells that are contained in these solar panels are normally silicon. These individual cells are shrinking all the time and becoming cheaper to produce. Solar panels provide users with a source for

Passive Solar Design ITT Technical Institute Cap Stone [ April 6‚ 2012 ] Passive Solar Design Passive solar homes are houses designed to use the suns energy to heat the home. With this design it is also easy to cool these homes. The design has been around since men have walked the earth. It is so basic that it often gets over looked by architectural designers today. With the price of fossil fuel‚ and global warming‚ we can no longer over look this housing design. Our ancestors

Renewable Energy SCIE90014 Assignment 1: Pros and Cons of Solar PV and Solar CSP compare small-scale roof top PV with large-scale PV and CSP. There are different types of solar energy‚ but we tend to compare the two most popular types‚ Solar CSP and PV since they are commercialised. The main difference between the two is that photovoltaic systems directly convert the solar energy to electricity‚ while concentrated CSP first convert the solar energy into thermal energy and then into electrical
