“Going green” has become increasingly popular. Solar panels are used throughout the world‚ but don’t produce nearly enough of the energy that they potentially could. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that the efficiency of current commercial solar panels hovers from 11-15%‚ making it costly to produce enough energy for the world’s needs. The main barriers to widespread adoption of photovoltaic technology are installation costs‚ low efficiency and the limited number of peak hours (maximum amount

Solar panels at the beginning were very big‚ heavy and not efficient. Due to the disastrous effects of global warming‚ there has been a push by the government to fund solar energy projects to make them more efficient and accessible. Sammy Zahran et. al. reports‚ in the research article “Greening Local Energy: Explaining the Geographic Distribution of Household Solar Energy use in the United States”‚ President Carter envisioned that

Anidolic Daylighting Systems and Solar Tubes Author: Beng Wee (Steward) Lim Email: stewardlim1@hotmail.com Until recently‚ the technology to redirect natural light into interior spaces did not exist and we have relied on electric lighting and windows. Using parabolic mirrors‚ Anidolic daylighting system not only manipulates the daylight into the space‚ it increases the daylight levels within the room despite the weather conditions and climate. The Anidolic Ceiling and Anidolic Zenithal Opening captures

1. Side Window Solar Protection This window film is made from the strongest transparent material—Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It’s a Watts-Strogatz model meaning that it’s one of the best in the industry as it is made of a random graph generation and has the ability to produce graphs with small-world properties. This 0.5m*3m size WS model will ensure 100% visibility and not block any view. This WS model Side Window Solar Protection film comes in 2 distinct colors classed as dark black and light black
