Manifesting intense magnetic activity‚ sunspots host secondary phenomena such as coronal loops (prominences) and reconnection events. Most solar flares and coronal mass ejections originate in magnetically active regions around visible sunspot groupings. Similar phenomena indirectly observed on stars are commonly

Solar power: In fact‚ every minute‚ enough energy arrives at the Earth to meet our demands for a whole year - if only we could harness it properly. The Delhi Metro came to a standstill yet again on Tuesday afternoon after services were suspended for two hours due to collapse of the Northern Power Grid for the second consecutive day‚ causing inconvenience to commuters. As the power grid collapsed at around 1 pm‚ Delhi Metro trains stopped on tracks‚ some inside tunnels‚ due to no supply of power

Problem Statement Solar energy is becoming increasingly popular within the years. Companies have been using this energy for automobiles‚ calculators‚ street lights‚ etc. Established in 8 different countries‚ keeping its bases in Canada and China‚ Canadian Solar has been generating strong financial returns. Canadian Solar believes its competitive advantage relies in their Western management and engineering and their low-cost Chinese production base and its strategy is to maintain comparable prices

Solar Panels Solar Panels‚ also known as Solar Cells‚ convert solar energy into electrical energy. When sunlight hits the solar panel it knocks electrons loose from their atoms and then they move through the built in circuit‚ thus creating a current of energy. This energy can be stored in batteries for later use or it can be used right away. Antoine César Becquerel‚ a French scientist‚ and his son‚ Alexandre-Edmond Becquerel‚ were the first to notice photovoltaic power in 1839. They discovered

Solar powered cars have been said to be the future of renewable transportation and that they are supposed to be economically efficient and environmentally friendly. Though it may sound like pure science fiction‚ there is development happening around world that is bringing that notion into reality. As I researched thoroughly to create my conceptual model for solar cars‚ I asked myself this: Are solar vehicles even practical for the U.S.? Solar energy is the most abundant energy resource on earth
