Solar Swimming Pool
Shallow water in a pond or lake tend to be more heat than the water that is in a deeper place. This occurs because the sun can warm a basic pond or lake in the area that is more shallow, and that means water that is above become hot.
With the same principle, the sun can be used as a water heater in the building and swimming pool. Most of the water heating system that uses the sun as a source of heat, consists of two main parts: the sun collectors and storage tanks. Collectors that are commonly used flat plate collectors. Collector consists of thin flat box with a transparent top cover part and facing towards the sun. Small pipes that is in the box bring liquids, which can be water or other liquids, to be heated. Pipes is paired on the black plate that serves to absorb heat from the sun. After a heat form in the collector, the liquid is in the pipes will be hot.

Solar Energy Applications
Solar energy technologies use energy from the sun to produce heat, light, hot water, electricity, and even cooling, for homes, commercial and industrial.
There are a variety of technological applications that have been developed to take advantage of solar energy. Technology can be read further below.
Photovoltaics System
Solar cells work by converting sunlight directly into electricity. The electrons in the semiconductor material, the material used to capture sunlight, will move when the sun’s energy in the form of photons hit it. Solar energy is forcing the electrons to move, occur continuously, and consequently there is also a continuous electricity production. Process, which turns sunlight (photons) into electricity (voltage), called the photovoltaic effect.
Solar Cell Module
Solar cells are usually organized into modules that each module can consist of 40 solar cells. Some modules can be arranged to form a PV line fitted with a fixed angle facing south. Or even could be placed in a sun-tracking device, to get more solar energy throughout the day. Several rows of PV could produce enough power for a house. As for industrial applications or power companies, hundreds of lines of PV can be linked to form one large PV systems and sufficient to meet the electricity needs.
Thin Film Solar Cell
Thin film solar cells use several layers of semiconductor material with a thickness in the micrometer scale. Technology allows to create solar cells integrated into rooftops to the skylights. Even solar cells are designed for applications having the same power with actual roof.

How Solar Power Plant Installation
Solar Power Plant is a system of clean energy and produce electricity from sunlight. Also support the issue of global warming. Because energy is widely used by State Electricity Enterprise is the energy that can not be renewable (fossil) fuel such as kerosene, gas, coal, etc. Whereas current cost of fuel has begun to become dearer. If using the sun is free energy available abundant.
Installation and Operation is very easy, enduring long and a very inexpensive investment option to be public at this time. Can be used to meet electricity needs anywhere, especially in rural areas or areas that do not (not yet) reached by State Electricity Enterprise network.
Various Benefits of Using Solar Power Plant:
- Source of energy that never runs out and is very environmentally friendly
- Can be used anywhere, especially areas that have not yet reached by State Electricity Enterprise network
- No need to pay State Electricity Enterprise
- Without fuel and pollution-free
- Not require special treatment
- Free from all treatment
- Can be used to light a variety of electrical equipment, especially for lighting the lamp, radio, cassette, TV
- Can be used for emergency lighting when electricity of State Electricity Enterprise, have extinction (power off)
- And so on
Principles of Sun Power Plant
In the daylight the solar panel receives light (rays) of the sun and then converted into electricity through the Photovoltaic. Electricity generated by solar panels can be directly channeled to burden or stored in Electric Box System (EBS), before use to load, light, radio, TV etc.
At the night, where the solar panel does not generate electricity. Electricity that has been collected (stored) in a Electric Box System (EBS) will be used. To turn on electrical equipment, especially the lighting, etc.
Components of Solar Power Plant
1. Solar Panel:
Change the sunlight into electricity. Modular form of the solar panel provides the ease of the electricity needs for various scale of the needs.
2. Electric Box System (EBS):
- Set of traffic from the solar panel to the load
- Saving electric current generated by the solar panel before used to drive the load. Burden can be a lamp, electronic device and other equipment that requires electricity
- Very flexible in placement, you can take shift about.
The Design of Solar Power Plant – The Practical and Flexible
With a flexible design that can be possible to increase the capacity of electricity with solar panels only add (maximum 2 solar panel) for each package.
Installation HOW VERY EASY
- Place solar panel outside the house (roof, roof tile, or make your own tower, etc.) directly to the sunlight adjust with the situation / place / situation you secure place
- Pull cable from solar panel, and enter plug to EBS IN DC (There are DC IN and DC OUT) Plus ON-OFF if you use (do not forget to note the ON-OFF key If you use ON if not used right OFF). For a cable if less in length you can add/connect your own. Set EBS & cable installation neat and safely out of reach of children etc.
- If solar panel at work, on the EBS have red indicator lights, when charging energy from the panel to EBS will be full, red indicator light will turn on flicker, if it is full will be off. Green indicator lights mark the flow you are working.
- In the EBS (Electric Box System) have stop contact Out AC is useful to set the electronic equipment appropriate with watt and energy saved. You can also make your own plug combination for parallel needs. (Many stop contacts that have sold in the market with 2 holes, 4 holes, 6 holes, etc.) find the high quality.
- Ready to use to set the lights, tv, radio, etc

Solar Electric Power Systems
Solar system has a mechanical and electrical components that can convert and store electrical energy that can be used to run your home. Start the calculation that you want to do is an energy audit. You need to evaluate the amount of power that will be needed per day preferably in kilowatts / hour. So the need to consider is the location of your home. That will determine the type of solar system you need is a factor such as climate, number of days of peak sunlight per day, average rainfall and number of days of peak sunlight per year. This calculation can be done by companies that make solar electricity system, and they will guide you in choosing solar electric power systems that are appropriate for your home.
Solar electric power system consists of several components. Some of the components that you will find in the solar electric power system is a primary collector, an inverter, a circuit breaker, battery, charge controller, for collectors and mount the display panel. Collector is a component that collects the sun’s energy. In normal cases, is a solar panel collectors. Collectors on the roof is still using the cushion. Location of solar panels is very important and must be in place where the sun will fall in the maximum on it. Is the ideal place solar panels on the north-south as it will ensure that even if the sun from east to west, the panel get the sun for longer duration.
Inverter is the component that will convert the 12 volt DC power to AC power. Based on the location of the power inverter can convert the 110 volt DC to 220 volt. One of the most important component is the circuit breaker or fuse box. This component has a switch and fuse is important to set the transfer energy from the solar panel to the battery or directly to the outlets. Circuit Breakers control the amount of power that will flow to the outlet and will act as security devices for the application.
If you want to have the storage, then you need to buy one or more batteries depending on your needs. If you have then you need a battery charge controller. This component will ensure you are not over or less in charging battery that will reduce the ability of the battery.

Solar Cookers – Going Green With Simple Solar Ovens
Executive Summary about Solar Cooker by Detlef Warner
Cooking with a solar cooker is one more way that you too can go green!
A solar cooker, or solar oven, is mechanism that uses sunlight to cook food rather than electricity or gas. Solar cookers come in several different varieties: A box cooker, panel cooker, and a parabolic cooker. While a box cooker is a better choice when you’re looking to cook a large amount of food, a parabolic cooker is capable of cooking the food faster.
Solar cookers will take more time than a traditional oven, with the exception of a parabolic cooker, so you should plan on allowing approximately two times the regular cooking time. Solar cookers are readily available both online and in stores. You can construct a solar oven out of something as simple as cardboard and in a short amount of time be cooking your first solar meal!
