Home Sweet Solar Home – Making Homes Better With Solar Technology

Executive Summary about Solar Home by Anne Clarke

solar home Solar Home

By now many people know it is possible to generate energy without the use of dwindling traditional resources. This stimulated atmospheric cycle is the product of a solar biosphere that remains in constant, gradual motion. You can draw energy directly from the sunlight, you can save money on energy costs, and you can be a big part of the effort to protect our planet. Remember, though, solar panels are not the only type of solar technology available that can harvest a decent alternative to electricity from the sun. There are wind turbines, solar panels, biospheres, and many other innovative solar power mechanisms that have made headway in an extreme scientific objective to help protect the earth. Despite what many people might believe, there are solar solutions available as alternative energy sources that virtually anyone can choose over electrical energy. Soon construction companies for homes, office buildings, apartment complexes, and more will adopt new methods of design that will dovetail more easily with solar technology.

First Solar Inc. and Ordos City signing MoU in Construction of 2 GW Solar Electricity Generator


Wu Bangguo at MoU of First Solar Inc. and Oordos City Solar IncSolar electricity generator with a capacity of 2 GW may be far from our imagination, but not in China. First Solar Inc., A solar power company from the United States, will build the solar electricity generator in Ordos city, in the province of  Inner Mongol. This project is the development of the world’s largest solar electricity generator. The signing between them have been done at September 8, 2009 at the headquarters of First Solar Inc. in Tempe, Arizona, witnessed by Wu Bangguo, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.

“We are proud of the signing of this MoU” said Mike Ahearn, chief executive of First Solar Inc. was quoted as saying by APP.

Government of the United States and China can work together to reduce the cost of electricity from solar electricity generator connected to the network which will be competitive with electricity from traditional energy sources and create a blueprint for accelerating large-scale development of solar energy utilization of the world to prevent / reduce the impact of climate change, he added.

The MOU underscores a long-term partnership between First Solar Inc. and Ordos City, which First Solar Inc. will also consider making investments in the Ordos solar cells.

“We are very pleased to partner with one of the major players in industry of solar electricity generator technology in the project that will impact on low-carbon production in the Ordos.” said Cao Zhichen, deputy mayor of Ordos. For this project the Government of Ordos city will provide 65 square kilometers of land.

“Discussions with First Solar Inc. on the construction of the factory in China is a demonstration for investors in China that they can be confident of investing in high technology fields,” he said further.

China actively increasing the production capacity of electricity cheaper than solar energy sources as part of its national goal to achieve 10 percent energy supply from renewable energy sources by 2010 and 15 percent in the year 2020 including the energy source of wind, hydro, biomass and solar.

Currently, the installed capacity of solar electricity generator in China around 90 MW. Government of China plans to boost the utilization of solar energy from the initial target of just 1.8 GW in 2020 to 2 GW by 2011 and 10 to 20 GW by 2020 as announced in a press conference of the MoU signing.

The first phase of Ordos city solar electricity generator is building 30 MW of project demonstration is planned to begin in June 2010. The next phase, respectively built solar electricity generator with a capacity of 100 MW and 870 MW is expected to be completed by the end of 2014. While the last phase of 1000 MW will be completed by the end of 2019.

Based on the MoU, during the initial phase of implementation, First Solar Inc. will actively study the possibility of development module and manufacturing suppliers in the Ordos. First Solar Inc. also plans to expand its supply chain for the production of thin-film photovoltaic modules and used module recycling.

Wind Generators As Your Energy Source


wind turbines Wind Turbines

Many people have started to install wind turbines, wishing to lower their bills for electricity, and in some way help make the environment safer while saving on non-renewable sources of energy. You need some knowledge before taking your various tools and purchasing your other needs for making a wind generator.

Whether you are installing a self-made or a commercial generator, you need to make sure you have the optimal location for it. You will need a place where trees and buildings are not obstructing the air flow.

If you happen to be living on a farm, obstacles probably aren’t a factor and the view of your neighbors is no concern. However when you live within the boundaries of a city, it can be a lot more difficult to install a wind generator.

The wind towers are so tall that they can be dangerous in storms and high winds, so this could impact the community. Consult not only your local authority but also your neighbors before putting one on your property. Of course you always need to consult for the county or city codes.

You have a few choices for the exact spot for your wind tower. The top of your house could be a great location or if you own enough land you can set the tower away from the house. In a small town, numerous wind generators can be installed in a common area for the whole community. So everyone can benefit from lower utility bills, and you do not have to worry about the towers getting blown over in a storm.

You could also look into other forms of renewable energy to run your house. If you have enough sun in your area, consider installing solar panels as a back up for your wind generator.

You can read more from Steven C. Jones on his blog about wind generators and renewable energy.

Home Solar Electricity – What to Know Before Purchasing Anything

Executive Summary about Solar Electricity by Melanie Crouse

solar electricty Solar Electricity

There are even tax rebates available in many states for families that are converting to home solar electricity. If you’ve been thinking of using PV (photovoltaic) panels for your home solar power, but are finding that it is too expensive, there are other options. There are many green energy suppliers that provide power from various renewable resources, such as solar electricity, wind power and hydroelectricity. If you’ve decided that solar power is the way you want to go, you will need to determine your actual power needs first.

The first thing you need to determine is how much electricity you need your home solar electricity system to generate. Do you want a grid-tied system where you are still connected to the grid, using a combination of your own solar power and the power supplied by the utility company? Or you can combine your own home solar electricity system with the grid, selling back any excess power that you don’t use to the power

Nanosolar Powersheet

Executive Summary about Nanosolar by nanosolar.com -MICHAEL MOYER

nanosolar Nanosolar

Imagine a solar panel without the panel. Just a coating, thin as a layer of paint, that takes light and converts it to electricity. From there, you can picture roof shingles with solar cells built inside and window coatings that seem to suck power from the air.

Cost has always been one of solar’s biggest problems. Traditional solar cells require silicon, and silicon is an expensive commodity (exacerbated currently by a global silicon shortage). That means even the cheapest solar panels cost about $3 per watt of energy they go on to produce.

Nanosolar’s cells use no silicon, and the company’s manufacturing process allows it to create cells that are as efficient as most commercial cells for as little as 30 cents a watt. “It really is quite a big deal in terms of altering the way we think about solar and in inherently altering the economics of solar.”

In San Jose, Nanosolar has built what will soon be the world’s largest solar-panel manufacturing facility. California, for instance, recently launched the Million Solar Roofs initiative, which will provide tax breaks and rebates to encourage the installation of 100,000 solar roofs per year, every year, for 10 consecutive years (the state currently has 30,000 solar roofs). The company is ready for the solar boom.

NANOSOLAR: Solar-cell Coating

Executive Summary about Nanosolar by Silicon Valley

Solar panels are big, clunky, heavy, require special installation, and, if they break, replacing them can be quite expensive.

The PowerSheet is made from a layer of solar-absorbing nano-ink that is printed onto a foil-thin metal sheet.

Because of the ever-increasing costs of energy and the obvious environmental impact of burning up fossil fuels, turning to alternative energy sources such as solar energy is a priority.

When building a home with solar power, you don’t have to worry about building near power lines or available grids. Solar energy helps keep our environment beautiful in many ways. Solar power for homes…is it worthwhile? Yes!

Solar Power Home Benefits
Executive Summary about Solar Homes by Malc Moore

The subject of the solar power home is becoming more and more popular in world today. There are lots of reasons for this which include, environmentall issues and fossil fuel shortages. So more and more individuals are checking out renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic power wich uses sun power to create electricity.

What Is classed as a solar powered home? A solar power home is a house which gets is electricity power supply by harnessing sun power and using photovoltaic power systems, rather than using the conventional form of electricity.

The solar power home benefits are:

  1. Solar power is actually cheaper.
  2. Its a fact Solar panels actually work better in winter, because of the huge temperature change in the weather.
  3. It does not need to be sunny outside for solar power to work efficiently, because solar panels use the changes in temperature in order to create electricity.

In the event of a black out, a solar power home will therefore not be unduly affected, what with a battery, that is almost constant charged by wind and solar power. Not only will the solar panels provide extra power to the electrical grid, they will even help to reduce the electricity shortage.

The High Costs of Solar Electric Power

Executive Summary about Solar Electric by Klaus H Hemsath

solar electric Solar Electric

Promotion of solar power generation is booming. Why are solar farms built when financial data clearly show that solar power is still the most expensive electricity generation technology available?

Solar power plant developers and marketers obviously know that they need to lower costs. Cost reduction is, however, expensive and takes time. There are two major technologies for solar energy conversion. Electricity production with steam is a very mature technology. The other technology is the direct, photovoltaic conversion of sunlight into electricity. This technology will most likely become the dominant solar electric power generating technology – eventually. The concentrated sunshine creates very high surface temperatures on the solar panel. To save solar panel area and make the solar panel price competitive, one must cool the surface of the solar panel very efficiently to prevent it from melting and destruction.

Present production costs for generating electricity with solar panels are hovering around $0.50 per kWh. Right now, solar power does not yet make economical sense.

None of the available technologies using renewable energy can compete with the cost of electricity generation from coal.

The technologies for generating electricity with solar power, wind power, marine power, and geothermal power are very well understood. At present, a respectable number of windmill farms and solar panel farms are being installed. Solar power does not make economical sense, yet. A random sampling of recent announcements of solar farm installations reveals that system installation costs are in the $3000 to $7500 per kW installed capacity. These plant costs loosely translate into a cost of producing electric power at $0.30 to $0.60 per kWh. This very unfavorably compares to the cost of electricity generation by any other technology.

As long as solar power constitutes only a very small fraction of overall electric power generation, the additional costs of storing intermittently produced electric power are not yet of concern. If the US is going to depend significantly on the intermittent production of electricity from solar power and wind power, it must begin to develop storage technologies for huge amounts of electric energy. Intermittent, renewable energies and electric energy storage are inseparable.

The Solar Electric Panel – An Inexpensive Way to Generate Electricity
Executive Summary about Solar Electric by Dan A Swanson

The solar electric panels, generally called solar photovoltaic panels, are made of a set of treated silicon cells arranged in a series array. They produce electricity on being exposed to the sunlight. A small solar electric panel will lessen the energy bills considerably, while a big solar panel will in fact budge the meter backwards. The contemporary solar electric panels are simple to install and are modular. The solar electric panels transform the sunlight to DC (direct current) electricity. Buy any of these solar electric panels according to your requirements.

Solar electric panels are the perfect answer to our increasing electricity bills and ever increasing reliance on depleting conventional energy resources. Make a one time investment in solar panels and generate free electricity for years to come. Solar electric panels are the need of the hour.
