consumptions as well as upcoming stability problems in the electricity supply in Mediterranean countries‚ which in turn demands for costly upgrading of the grids to handle electricity peak power demand situations. On this account the use of solar thermal energy for air-conditioning and all involved downstream professions has a huge unexploited potential. This can become a significant contributing factor in the acceleration of the growth of the European solar market‚ particularly in the southern countries

CRITICALLY COMPARE MARXISM AND FUNCTIONALISM IN THE WAY EACH PERSPECTIVE CONCEPTUALIZES THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL STRATIFICATION. Social stratification refers to the presence of distinct social groups which are ranked one above the other in terms of factors such as prestige and wealth (Haralambos & Holborn‚ 2004). Those who belong to a particular group or stratum will have some awareness of common interests and a common identity. They also share a similar

A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

near Upington‚ Northern Cape. Solar-aided Power Generation The integration of solar thermal collectors into conventional fossil plants‚ or SAPG‚ has proven a viable solution to address the intermittency of power generation and combines the environmental benefits of solar power plants with the efficiency and reliability of fossil power plants. The basis of SAPG technology is to use solar thermal energy to replace the bled-off steam in regenerative Rankine power cycles. The increased steam
